Alesund is a funky little city quite a ways North.
Here's a link to Google maps that shows where it is.
That's our ship in the pic below.
Taken from wayyy up there. It was quite a hike.
The highlight in Alesund was the kayak trip we went on.
They made us put on "dry suits" as shown below. Totally covered in rubber from head to foot - all the heat stayed inside.
You board the kayaks right off the boat.
We kayaked across the inlet to Goat Island. There they had a small picnic set up for us.
On Goat Island we all peeled down the dry suits - my shirt was soaked with sweat. And no beer! Only champagne!
Clouds are returning.

And our ship sitting peacefully in the water.
