Norwegian Coast Cruise 2012 - Leknes Lofoten Isles Page |
Leknes, Lofoten Isles
Coming in to Leknes
In the morning we were still at sea & I gave my Grieg talk to some acclaim. We set out for the coach after lunch, which we had with Melissa & Cynthia, the Classical duo, daughter singer & mother on the piano. The coach took us round various places in the area, starting with Ballstad & had several photo stops.

The weather was dry but very cloudy. However, it was interesting enough. On a pass road stop, I climbed up the nearest hill for a better viewpoint & Glen Monie, the ship's crooner, followed me.

Back just in time for tea. Priorities, priorities.
