Travelcat2 Posted July 28, 2014 Author #301 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hopefully, below is the crab I've been talking about. It is medium size. The group of us did eat it along with some of it's siblings: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted July 28, 2014 #302 Share Posted July 28, 2014 That is one impressive crab! I have to agree about the risotto in La Veranda. I thought it was just me, but I just didn't think it was that good. CR's version was better. But maybe thinking it was not that good is better for me, since I just didn't eat as much of it. Proper risotto should be creamy and have a bit of "bite" to it. La Veranda's just didn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted July 28, 2014 Author #303 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Reindeer and keeper (a "Sami"). These are the reindeer that swim back to the mainland at the end of summer. They belong to the Sami people and are allowed to run free. Both female and male reindeer get antlers but shed them different times of the year.

Travelcat2 Posted July 28, 2014 Author #304 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) This is the midnight sun at 11:00 p.m. (okay - so it isn't really the midnight sun - it's the 11:00 p.m. sun). It isn't getting dark but is getting very cloudy. If you look at the top of the picture you'll see blue sky. People going to this spot the following day could see nothing but clouds. We were fortunate! No clue why this came out small. My DH has an outstanding photo of the midnight sun on his camera. I didn't realize that you could aim the camera directly towards the light and get a great picture. Nap time:-) Edited July 28, 2014 by Travelcat2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanandjoe Posted July 28, 2014 #305 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Wow, great pictures. We won't even look at our pix until we're past our jet lag. After two nights at home, we haven't made it to as late as 8:30, so we still haven't seen a night sky since July 5th, the night before we flew to Oslo. We did see a sunset on our last night, but the sky was still pretty light (twilight) when we went to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudhen Posted July 28, 2014 #306 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Loving those photos, the crab, THE CRAB! WOW! That's a beauty. Have to agree with all of your comments, right on the money. Maybe we were lucky, but most of our buses were not full to the brim. I think we were also very fortunate that we traveled with a really punctual and considerate crowd. When it was time to go, we went....no waiting for stragglers. Also didn't encounter any front seat mauraders! Best regards, J&L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suite Travels Posted July 29, 2014 #307 Share Posted July 29, 2014 That crab is huge. It looks like it belongs in a horror movie. Great pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted July 31, 2014 Author #309 Share Posted July 31, 2014 As I always do on a cruise, I updated the bar list. There will be several changes to this list in the next few weeks which I'll post after our October cruise. A few notable changes on this list is the removal of Samuel Adams and Miller Genuine Draft beer as well as Becks alcohol free. Several more beers will be on the new list. There is also an addition to the Grappa list - Sette Mari Grappa "Gift Bottle" by Bottega Alexander - Handmade Murano Glass Bottle -- $58. Lastly, Johnnie Walker Blue Label's price has gone from $44.00 to $33.00 and Chivas Royal Salute has gone from $33.00 to $21.00. The rest of the changes are minimal.
