Once back on ship we still had about 40 minutes before actual departure. Since we were tired from all the walking some of us took a nap. I woke up just minutes before we were set to depart and went up top. It turns out that it had rained hard while I was asleep (and was still sprinkling a bit but for only a minute or two). This was the only rain of the day and I missed it. I’m glad the rain\u00a0fell\u00a0as the air was now crystal clear. Blue sky came out in places and the scenery went from excellent to outstanding.<\/p>\n

We were to once again “sail” through Oslofjord south to Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

I was awestruck by the views. I would love to visit and explore Norway’s fjords again. Further north, along the west coast, they are supposed to be even more fantastic.<\/p>\n

The next morning I got up and went to the top deck before 7 as that is when we were supposed to be passing Kronborg<\/a>. We didn’t actually pass the castle until 7:40, but I did get some nice pictures of Gilleleje from a distance. No one was up there with me so I got to enjoy the peace and beauty of the morning alone.<\/p>\n

\"Hamlets<\/a><\/p>\n

We passed the last couple hours through the Oresund Straight before our “ferry” pulled back into Copenhagen. What started out on some ominous notes<\/a> turned into an enjoyable Norway trip that I’m very glad we took.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
