Two If By Sea…

For several years, I have tried to convince Ken that we should visit Norway. I had heard that viewing the fjords by boat gives the most dramatic scenes, so we finally booked a cruise which traveled in and out of the intricate water ways of Norway’s western coast. We met several delightful couples while on board and spent much of our time on the ship reading, resting, eating and then dancing the night away. Our excursions on land involved hiking up to a glacier, biking along a river and wandering through the charming seaside villages. By the time we returned home, we felt rejuvenated from the active days on land and lazy days at sea. Well worth the wait!
