June 26 - heading south

There were beautiful blue skies and calm seas today as we sailed towards Stavanger, our final port in Norway. We followed the coastline all day, and are now seeing increasing sea traffic. Katherine has binoculars and checks out all the ships we see.

Last night was our last night of midnight sun. We are now back well below the Arctic Circle, and will actually have a sunset tonight at 11:21 pm.

It was a typical "at sea" day for us - port lecture in the morning, then a culinary demonstration and galley tour. After lunch we went to another talk from our Explorers speaker - this time she spoke about Sir Francis Drake. (Captain Cook is still my favourite though.) In between these, I got quite a bit of stitching done and Katherine finished another book.

Tonight was a Formal dinner, so we got all dressed up one last time. Then we went off to see one of the shows.

So the day flew by, and now we are counting up our Norwegian Kroner so we know just how much we each have to spend tomorrow on our last day in Norway.
Ahhh... it's a tough life!
