Stavanger


This is our last port of call in Norway and is another sunny day. After the Elite breakfast in Tuscany with Mark and Katie we are going to have a walk into the old town.
The youngsters decided to go on a RIB safari along the fjord to Pulpit Rock and the nearby waterfalls. After they had put on dry suits and set off on the RIB we went to the cathedral which has been closed for some time being refurbished. It's not a particularly impressive place but we lit a couple of candles. Browsed around the popup market, had a coffee and met the others at the completion of their safari. 
We all went to one of the harbour side restaurants and had an excellent light lunch of mussels, prawns and fish soup with a beer in the afternoon sun. Returned briefly to the market before rejoining the ship. It's another chic night with lobster on the menu.

The traditional parade of the chefs does not happen any more since the main restaraunt has split into four but the restaurant chef came around the tables greet the diners. The lobster and beef wellington was on the menu and some of us managed to order beef with a lobster side dish.
