Our morning view was quite a spectacular one, as we woke up while travelling up the Ullsfjorden. With rolling hills covered with blanket of snow on the side. We are on the Starboard side, however hills are on both sides.
I’m not sure what time we’re docking at Tromso. But seeing we are very close I would expect to get off the ship around 10.00
I met Bev and Chris on deck four. Ian is not joining us today as he’s not well.
We disembarked the ship and there was shuttle bus to take us to the center of town.
Our first point of interest was the Troll Museum. it was all a interactive experience all about the legends of Trolls in Norway.
We decided to grab a coffee and something to eat and called in at Kaffe Bakverk and had a hot chocolate and cinnamon scroll or what is called ‘Norwegian kanelboller’. It was yummy, I could live in these delicious cinnamon scrolls.
We also visited the two churches, the Catherdral of our Lady and Tromso Cathedral.
We looked around the waterfront at all the boats. Very picturesque views.
They are doing alot of roadworks and upgrades to the town and there was lots of machinery around, which did affect the aesthetics somewhat. This town is not as pretty as the last town. Trondheim. A bit more modern and less charm.

A quick lunch, simple toasted ham and cheese toasty and a hot chocolate and we were ready t start shopping. There are many Tourist shops to browse through and I purchased a few little trinkets for Grankids. Mason and Layla.
Our last stop was the Arctic Museum. It has a lot if fascinating history about the early exploration of the Arctic by the English and many historic artifacts. Well worth the visit as some of it was quite fascinating.

We headed back to the ship around 4.00pm. Overall a lovely day.
