Olden - Sail Away

Image
By
Soon after the ship was secured for sea the pub alongside the jetty began to play Rod Stewart's "Sailing". 

This tune grew in popularity in UK after it was used by TV as the theme tune to a documentary series about the aircraft carrier "Ark Royal".

At the moment there is not enough bandwidth or even a phone signal to upload my video to FB or YouTube.

An hour later we are making our way westwards along the Innvikfjorden heading to the Nordfjord and the sea. 

We are sitting on our balcony as we slide between the high sides of the fjord. Both sides heavily wooded with open patches with small groups of houses.

Tonight we have decided to have a later dinner. 

The entertainment on Monday was very good and we just made it. The group were called "Beautiful World" and were a tribute to Take That.

Last night we just made it to the Malabar to watch the reggae group "Accent" perform covers from Bob Marley and others.

If anyone with a working internet can Google and tell me who did "Mysterious Girl" I'd be obliged.

The restaurants seem to be easier to get into with less waiting if you go later. We'll see tonight 

The next stop is Ålesund.

Blog moved to Travellerspoint

By
I decided that trying to maintain different platforms for the blog(s) was getting difficult to maintain and so I have decided to move all the travel blogs to Travellerspoint. All the vehicle specific blogs such as "Suzi Triplo" will stay in Blogger. Only any that are travel oriented such as "Cruising" and "Devall Travel" have been given up and entries in future will be in  The new home of Devall Travels . Travellerspoint

Day 2 continued

By
From Solent Sky we made the mistake of thinking Ocean Village might be a marina with shops and places to relax. In fact it was a jumble of expensive flats.... Instead we ended up at Town Quay and parked there. It was very hot still with the car registering over 30°C still. We ended up in Starbucks near the Red Funnel ferry terminal. The local football team were at home judging by the variety of different Southampton shirts on display on everyone from kids to old blokes. Good to see so many people supporting their local club. Starbucks was air conditioned. A couple of fraps went down well. I'm glad I had the Canon with me to capture things... Problem being that the 1100D doesn't have WiFi to transfer pix off the SD card. Our parking ran out at 2.20pm and our check in time was 3.30pm before the added hour and a half from the email informing us of the delay. Rather than hang about we decided to go to the Ocean Terminal and see what happened. It was 2.35pm when we joined a q

It's Ålesund

By
After breakfast left the ship and have come across to look at the Ålesund Museum. It's a short walk if you see the signs but longer if you trust the map. Nice little museum. Now across the street in a cafe with a coffee where there is WiFi. posted from Bloggeroid
