Quarantine

The view from our veranda on the Viking Mars:


And that’s likely all we will see of Norway for the next five days.


John had a scratchy throat yesterday so we retested. He popped up positive. I didn’t, but have the same symptoms this morning. We are waiting on PCR confirmation, but we’re in quarantine. Neither of us feels very sick, which is good. The ship staff couldn’t be any better. We are able to order food from the main dining room menus, as well as from the specialty restaurants. They are crediting us for any shore excursions that we will miss.

And of course, I have enough knitting and reading material so I can’t possibly run out of things to do.

Speaking of knitting, I did manage to find some yarn. This was from Orkney island, the guide on the tour we took was a knitter and gave me directions to a little shop selling yarn.


Who knows what that all will be, but it is awfully pretty.

That’s all for now!

  1. I’m so sorry you and your hubby have come down with Covid. I’m heading off for a one week sailing trip next week. Fingercrossed I don’t get Covid as well.

  2. Oh no! That stinks!

    When we were in London a few weeks ago, the “must have neg Covid test to re-enter the US” rule was still in effect. I was sweating it because we had been in crowds and in close spaces, but we both tested neg. Not that I would’ve minded having to stay in London longer, but still.

  3. Oh, I am sorry! But I’m so glad that you have that balcony and can see the outside, and that they’re taking good care of you. And that you have new yarn!
