A Wild Hair.....

Before the whole world stopped due to COVID-19, friends were telling us about an ocean cruise they were planning to take starting in Bergen Norway and ending in Montreal Canada. They said "Y'all should join us." ELPH and I looked at each other and said "WTH?" So we contacted their travel agent and told her to duplicate their trip. And so it began..

On a long flight (more than 3 hours) I can become...grumpy in the cramped coach seating. Knowing this my ELPH (Ever Loving Patient Husband) booked Business Class seats to keep me from not killing anyone :D Other benefits are free drinks, hot food and real silverware. But seeing as it was a 10pm flight out of Atlanta, I was ready for sleep as soon as we took off.

Upon awakening we were given this concoction. I'm an adventurous person when it comes to food & beverage so, after the initial swig of Cucumber, Spinach & Banana juice, I contemplated the complexities and nuisances; refreshing, healthy, very green tasting (can you taste colors??) and took another swig... dribbling some down the front of my favorite white t-shirt in the process. Conclusion: ~~Don't drink anything green on an airplane~~ It's good but it's not something I want to drink everyday. I didn't finish that little bottle.

Approaching Amsterdam airport we saw enormous fields where they grow the tulips. Wouldn't this be something to see in full bloom!?

We arrived a day early in Bergen, Norway so not to be rushed to the ship and see some of the sights. Stayed at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Bergen just a couple blocks from the port.
