Geoffs Life After Work !

Norway and Beyond

Hard to blog regularly whilst at sea I have to wait until reception is good and that has taken 12 days !!

1..my youngest brothers 65 th and we are up early at 5 am,and having a quick check on our luggage we embarked on our Blackpool bus to take us to Mayflowerr docks in Southampton to board the Oriana for our trip to Norway.Getting onto the boat and into our cabin was done with minimum fuss and very quickly.On the way out of Southampton crowds were gathered onshore to view the Olympic Torch that was being escorted across the Solent via Ferry .We ventured around the boat and found our first (inclusive ) meal stop in the A La Fresco restaurant and sampled what they had on offer.Dinner was at a set time and we are 8.30.Our companions at the table included a couple from Yorkshire and the other couple from Israel.(The Israelis were very interesting as I know a little of their history) Dinner was rather posh BUT very tasteful and I managed to quaff a bottle of white.After dinner we were treated to a show based on MOTOWN and start time was 10.30 pm !! The cast were stationed at the exit and were delightful to chat too.Our first day ended around midnight and we fell into bed exhausted from the days fun ..
