11/14 Molde. 

SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP. Did I ever. It all caught up and I slept a good 9 hours. Woke to darkness and we are still underway.

Nespresso coffee is on. 

A nice breakfast was had in Rost. Back to the room to prepare for the day. I think we will do a walkabout to see what we might find. 



We hiked to a lookout point to get view of the city and the fjord. 


From there we walked into the city center. The city seemed sleepy as we walked past churches on the way to the center of town. Here there were all kinds of shops. We did find a grocery store named Bunn Pris. We enjoy going to local groceries to get a view of local life. We did find some cloudberry jam to take home. 

Back to the ship where a load of laundry was in order.

Lunch was in Arran, where Lynn had reindeer souvas and I reindeer stew. For dessert we had Norwegian doughnuts with chocolate sauce and berry dip. 

On Hurtigruten they strive to use local ingredients, from coffee to dessert. Their coffee is a Norwegian roast in a local coast town. The same holds true for most ingredients.

After lunch we went and spent some time in the 1893 lounge enjoying the views. Here the bartenders wear white dinner jackets and one has a pencil thin mustache. Harkens one back to the classic sailing days.

1550 the sun had set as we went to the walking deck of deck six.

Dinner tonight will be amazing and I will post the menu tomorrow after we receive it. 

 It is a surprise for us each night if we choose. We have faith in the chef's choices.
