Norwegian Jade - Fjords Cruise 25 August - 3 September -Day 6 - Alesund

We very short walk from the ship and we found the HOHO bus and the road train. We took a ride on the road train that took us to the viewpoint

Following the train we walked the short distance into the town centre and to the Art Nouveau centre - a museum and gallery located in the old pharmacy (it has a swan sculpture above the door) and was the business place and living accommodation for the pharmacist.. We spent at lot longer in the building than we expected!

The wind had dropped and the sun was out and we continued to wander around the town. We saw a couple of small shops that sold fish & chips but did not try any (prices in Norway are roughly twice that of the UK). Alesund claims a large fishing fleet.

On a fine day it is well worth a visit to Alesund.

When it was time for Norweign Jade to leave Alesund we were given a display:

Tonight's dinner was in Jasmine and I was warned that the meal would be spicy (it was very mild) - and in the theatre were Duo Odyssey - a cirque style aerial act and it was good - the pair received a very warm standing ovation.
