Monday 5/18 at sea

    Next major stop after Trondheim is Bodo, we arrive Monday at 12:30 for a 2 1/2 hr visit. It's not a long walk downtown from the pier so I'll go see the city center.

   Along the way from Trondheim, we stopped at the small town of Ornes. We picked up a Volvo and a couple of young passangers with their electronic gear. We pulled in to the pier at 9:25 and pulled away at 9:35.

   We crossed the Arctic Circle this morning at 7:23, the houses are getting fewer, the snow lower in the mountains and the land is much more rocky than farm fields. Makes you better understand what a 'Norwegian Bachelor Farmer' must be like.

   For Casey & Timmy, I've seen a lot of fish and have salmon every day for breakfast and lunch.

   I decided not to march in the parade, it moved too slow and I could see more of the city and the parade by walking around on my own. Enjoy the start of your work week all; more from Bodo later this afternoon.
