We have decided to aim for Bergen when we leave Kirkwall on July 4th. We’re all keen to tour the city, & see the Aquarium, fish market, & take trips up some mountains. From there we plan to visit the locals of Baldersheim, where we hope to challenge them to a rematch of tug-of-war. (The last time I was in Norway they beat our group o young eens and the Swan crew, but we reckoned they cheated!) From Baldersheim we’ll head down to Haugesund, where we’ll explore & go go carting & have a bash at Lazer Quest. After that, we’ll head further south & have a wander up the Preikestollen. We’re all really keen to see the view from there, all the photos of it are breathtaking. We’re hoping it’s going to be a clear day, with no low cloud, or it’ll be a poor end to a long trek! From there we’ll go into Stavanger to look around, and also hope to have time to visit the big swimming pool at Sandnes, a short train journey away. All in all, we’re all getting totally excited about this voyage, and all the fantastic things Norway has to offer. Watch this space for updates……. Ruth
