It's been very quiet in the village this week. The tourist season is practically over and the nights are drawing in. From I arrived on 9th July until about the 5th August I didn't once see the moon and it was never completely dark. The moon spectacularly rose last Sunday night and the nights have been getting longer ever since.
It's quite autumn like in a way - not helped by the weather being lousy from Tuesday until yesterday afternoon when the sun came out again. Hooray. We were able to have our tea of crab claws, bread and salad at the table on the decking.
There was also a cruise liner in Floro so we had 40 English speaking tourists decanted from a coach right outside the shop door which made for a successful day sales wise.
P is closing the shop from Monday to Friday this week coming and we are going on a trip :) Maps out again please.
Tomorrow we head north for Alesund and an overnight stay in Molde: both on the west coast.
Tuesday we turn north east to Trondheim. It's the ancient capital of Norway with a Cathedral dating back to 1090 and is still where new Monarchs are blessed. I'm looking forward to taking a tour of the Royal Residences and, of course, seeing the Cathedral.
Wednesday we head south east to Roros, nearly on the Swedish border, and overnight in Dombas, heading south west again.
Thursday we are going due west in the direction of the Geiranger Fjord, which is spectacular I believe, and will stay at Hellesylt.
Back here, via Nordfjord, on Friday.
Looking forward to the changing scenery, to staying in hotels in stunning places and taking loads of photos which I can share with you all x
I have been reading the blog, Dot, just hadn't got round to signing on. Weather here has actually been OK recently. Had lunch with D last week. He seems to be surviving well with help from R&H. We are off to Britttany on Thurs week with Susie's mum and Tim & Hilary so may not see you until September. Enjoy the road trip. I will look at the map to see where you're going all right.
