Kristiansand Norway September 10, 2014

No tours planned today since this quaint village is very walkable. Weather beautiful today. 69 degrees and sunny. Norway is very committed to open green spaces and recreation so it is delightful to wander around on foot. No major tourist attractions except the beauty of the city. It's a nice break from an organized tour. To start our day, my DH, Kos, made a stop at the restroom where he placed his backpack on the sink. As he turned his back, the backpack slid into the sink and the automatic faucet went on! Yep. Everything was soaked except the iPad seemed OK. However, our device that we use to transfer pictures into the iPad was dripping wet and wouldn't work. We managed to dry it out somewhat, but it's not quite right. So this may be the last of our blog for this trip! :)

Tonight we have a reservation at the Chef's Table which is a wonderful experience. A tasting of 6 courses with a wine pairing. We have done this on the Oasis of the Seas and absolutely loved it. The chef comes out with each course and explains how the dish is made and why the wine is paired with it. We eat many courses, but just a tasting. Wonderful.

The ice cream in Norway is simply awesome, as it is in all of the Scandinavian countries. I can never pass an ice cream vendor!
Tomorrow we will be at sea and Friday the Shetland Islands of Scotland. I'm looking forward to seeing the Shetland ponies!
