Where are all those Norwegian women in bikinis our talking Twizy mentioned over and over?

The City Train isn't a HOHO but it's convenient to the terminal and a quick way to see the city center.

After a brief stop by the ship I ventured back to the city.  

 

The Cathedral is open from 12:30 to 3pm today.  Free admission.

If anyone is looking for something unique in this port, Kunstsilo museum is a great stop and very close to the ship. Top floor has a lounge and panoramic viewing that is stunning.

Last opportunity for Norwegian beer and food.

Apparently the City Train does make a stop here.

Before my lunch was served, this happened.  

 

 

Hopefully false alarm.

Tech question...Did you manually remove yourself from these pictures or does the 360 app do that for you?  I've seen shots where the pole is automatically removed, but I don't think I've ever seen where the entire photographer is removed.

An app called Retouch does it for me.

After being evacuated for the fire alarm restaurant staff were nearby on the street to collect payment so I paid for the one beer I had been served and went off without my lunch entree.

 

I made it back on board in time for a WJ lunch instead.

 

Back on the ship I found this rude letter waiting in my cabin:

Nightly daycare in the Centrum rocking out to the Wave Benders under the watchful eye of Bern our Activity Manager. 
 

 

Squealing toddlers are so cute!   When they are yours.  
 

Oops.  Did I post that out loud?
