When we woke up we could see Norway in the distance and it got closer as the morning went by.

At breakfast we watched the crew check the zodiacs. As one of the folks who rides in them, I liked that.

By lunch we were going down a fiord with a tug boat behind us.

Egersund seems nice.

We had opted for the walking tour and museum. It was raining, but so what.

Our guide, Eva Marie, knew a lot about the town and its history. Less about how to guide a group of 2 dozen people across a road without problems.
Into town we went.

She did point out that before television some homes had mirrors outside the parlor to watch what went on down the street. Some houses still have them.

It’s a nice enough town.

We got to the shopping mall with the museum on the top floor. An interesting combination.

The museum was dedicated to the pottery company that had been there for 150 or so years, but was no longer in business, but now their stuff is collectors items.

I’m pretty sure our museum guide, who’s name I did not get, was an elf as she had pointed ears. That’s OK, elves need jobs too.

The pottery was interesting. They spent a lot of time copying styles from other places.

My wife wasn’t feeling very well, as you can tell by her being the one to use the bench.

After the museum tour we went down to the shopping area to get her more allergy medication from the pharmacy there.

Then, waited outside for the others to catch up with us.

Eva Marie gave us all a “quick lunch”, which is a candy bar like a Kit-Kat.

After some wandering into traffic she talked about how the rock there is the same type found on the moon, in some spots of Canada, and no where else. (Anorthosite) She had a bag of these rocks and gave us each one.

There was a monument to the kids killed in the mass shooting a while ago. I guess each town that lost kids has a monument like this.

It was starting to rain again, my wife wasn’t feeling well, so we ditched the tour and walked back to the ship without them. (We did tell Alin or the ship’s crew so they didn’t freak out at us going missing.)
