Our day at sea ended in "Masquerade"

The theatre on Ambience is so well designed we could almost have been in London's West End. "Masquerade" which was premiered on the ship was West End quality.

We had a smooth ride from the Thames Estuary to the North Sea and Bergen on the Norwegian Coast. It included a day at sea and time to familiarise ourselves with the ship. The arrangement of the furniture in the cabin, the design of the furniture in the public places and the way in which it was easy to access the open decks added to the pleasure of remaining on board. In the evening was an exceptionally impressive show by he resident company. "Masquerade" was carefully chosen songs and dance routines. We were sampling the delights of the cappuccinos in the "botanic" bar, and chatting to some other guests when the show was recommended, so we went to the second showing, which delighted us. I especially enjoyed watching it in my mask an engaging touch, as the were lights on above us, so the performers could see us in masks as we clapped and cheered. (4th August 2024)

This Eidfjord view is like a model village

Image
I imagined retracing my steps from last time I was in Eidfjord from the top of the deck. (8/8/240 I had walked to the church and further on to a little museum and violin makers and repair shop, which displayed "Hardanger" fiddle, which has four strings and four extra strings. It can make an almost ethereal sound, unique to the instrument and to Norway. Also in the picture above is the little supermarket, where I bought plasters for my blisters.  In fact our tour with Ambience left Eidfjord in early afternoon, so we were able to enjoy the spectacular views from the deck. Below are pictures I took on my walk on my visit five years ago.

We woke up in Haugesund

Image
It was fortunate we had visited Haugesund before. This time the weather was different and I didn't disembark. Nearly two years ago, we had taken a coach trip to a museum, church and Viking village. It had been a long walk from the museum, but well worth it, with re-constructed long boat houses, feasting halls, dwellings and other utilitarian reconstructed buildings. Here is a picture of the path we took to the Viking village to the church, a couple of years ago. (7/8/24)
