Fwd: Trip Log #4: scenic cruising Lysefjord,Pulpit Rock,and Stavanger July 20,2009

NOTE:  We have been up in the Arctic and into the Polar Ice Cap for a couple days so no internet.  Now you get a barrage of my trip logs!!  Sorry.  Oh well, that's how it works here on a ship.
 
Dear Friends,
 
Today was a beautiful day!!  And it was a day of scenic cruising thru  some beautiful fjords.
The little town of Stavanger, Norway is a popular one but was not on our itinerary this cruise.  However, as an unexpected treat, the Captain took the ship into the fjord and into the harbor for the town so we could see it.  Then he did a 180 and left.  There were two cruise ships tied up at the dock there.
 
Then we went into the Lysefjord which was beautiful.  As you will see in the photos, we went under a beautiful bridge and continued up into the fjord.  The place we were to see is called Pulpit Rock.  It is a flat top rock and on the top has a viewing platform for people to go out on and look down.  Was a breathtaking site and we did see many people up there as you can see in the photos.  They of course got there by land and were looking down on us.   
 
Hope you enjoy these photos and can appreciate the beauty.
 
Jan and Dick
