On Saturday, May 2, we awoke in the port of Copenhagen which is the largest and busiest city in Denmark. The weather again was sunny and so warm that we did not need jackets.

Stravanger, Norway Walking Tour with Guide
On Tuesday, April 28, we stopped at Stravanger which is the main southern port of Norway. It is a very old city with cobblestone streets and the highest concentration of original wooden buildings in all of Europe.
Eidfjord, Norway
Our second stop on this big boat ride was further inland, by water, to a small mountain village called Eidfjord. The weather again is cool, clear and beautiful. The main attraction here, beyond the landscape, is a modern Scenic Norwegian Nature Center. It is about a half hour ride by bus so Bill grabbed a seat to check it out.

Norway in April and the Weather is Cool
Last Friday, April 24, 2026, our friend Francis dropped us off at the Traverse City airport in the afternoon. We then flew to Detroit, to Amsterdam, and then to Bergen, Norway. Our flights were on Delta and Air France. All the 11 hours in the aircraft seats gave Bill terrible back pains so he was ready to get to our ship - The Neptune owned by Viking.
We settled into our cabin on the ship and were delighted that our luggage arrived at our room soon after we did. The ship is large holding 900 passengers plus it crew. We are now about six hours ahead of Michigan and the weather is cool and clear.

We Arrive Home to Quite a Mess
On Sunday we got home around noon on March first.. We could get into our driveway but not the garage. There is still about 1-1/2 feet of refrozen snow up here so we had to walk on top of it to unload the truck.
