The weather in Aselund is just as forecast. Cloudy, foggy, and rainy most of the day. We stay on the ship as we have no excursion planned and just to go walk in the rain doesn't make much sense.
Overnight we cruise to Andalsnes. This is a tender port. Cunard uses at least 4 lifeboats as tenders. The weather is party sunny, little fog, and just a few showers. The best weather they have had here in quite awile. Originally I had booked a train excursion here, but it was cancelled by the Railroad due to high demand from local passengers as a major road through the valley has been closed by rock slides.
Our bus trip takes us along part of the route that the railroad would have. The scenery is spectacular. Snow still sits at some of the higher elevations. We stop at a local lodge for "coffee and cake" Actually the "cake" was excellent apple pie and ice cream. Just what everyone should have at 9:30 AM.
Several stops to see old bridges and waterfalls. Very scenic and uncrowded. Of course the "trolls" are a big part of the tourist attraction.
Just about as the last tender returns to the ship, it begins to rain.
I have probably caught a cold from the hackers and the inconsistent heat and cold throughout the ship. I forgo the dining room and have dinner in the buffet to minimize me spreading anything to those around me.
Tonight will be TV in the cabin, a lot of rest, and hopefully I will feel better in time for our noontime tour tomorrow.
We head back out to the North Sea and head to Olden tomorrow.
No sunset to see tonight, the ship is shrouded in fog.
