Or, Out of Covid Jail
After John tested positive on Sunday, I did the same on Monday. We were restricted to our cabin for 5 days each, so John was out yesterday, me this morning. I felt pretty lousy for a couple of days, but have no symptoms now other than reduced sense of smell.
We missed four ports in Norway, though did get a few photos from our veranda. The prettiest day so far was Geirangar fjord, which was spectacular, with many stunning waterfalls.
Our cabin attendant, Mohammed, took good care of us for the week. He made sure our window and veranda wall were kept clean so we had a good view at all times.
We arrived in Bergen yesterday, and today is the midpoint of the cruise. Many passengers are staying on for the full trip to Stockholm, though there is also a lot of turnover from people only doing the two week portions. We did a tour in Bergen today, here’s one of the highlights.
Some fine Norwegian wool, and a sheep-themed bag to put it in.
And I finished a pair of socks.
The wool is from deep stash, Elliebelly 100% BFL. Same old pattern. These are for me.
Stay tuned for more adventure now that we are able to explore!
So sorry to hear you and your husband got Covid. Good you were vaccinated and boosted. Same thing happened to our daughter, her husband and 10 month old. They’ve missed all family gatherings in MN, his sister’s wedding celebration. They are well-enough to travel again and return home to NM. Meanwhile here in Texas it’s been 106 degrees. Have a wonderful rest of your trip.
I’m so glad you got to venture out in Bergen! It s such a charming city. Since we were driving, we stopped in Dale (pronounced Dah-leh) – as in Dale of Norway. We went to the factory store. It was so fun. It’s not too far from Bergen.
Glad you escaped with minimal illness. Bergen is wonderful – so are all the other Norwegian ports. You can find at least one source of yarn in each and everyone. Hint for Husfliden – they will sell you patterns without yarn if you really beg….
Ah, so glad to hear this! Wonderful that Mohammed even cleaned your windows while you were stuck inside. And that yarn!
So sorry you had to quarantine on your long awaited trip . We are doing this same cruise next July, we were supposed to go in 2021 but we all know how that played out. Living vicariously through you til next summer.
Just finished a trip off the Maine coast. Fortunately everyone arrived and stayed healthy for our one week trip. Glad you and hubby are healthy again.
