Hello from Haugesund, Norway for my third and final visit of the summer!
Not knowing what my plan was going to be today I snapped a couple photos as we were sailing in, just in case I had nothing else to show for the day.

So what was left? Since we're docked on an island - and my ship is the Island Princess - I decided to spend the morning riding my Royal Carriage scooter around the island.



Even though the bulk of the area is residential I was able to find some spots where I could see across the water to the places I covered last cruise.

I even found the mall across the water |
It did get a little tricky trying to avoid hills so sometimes I had to get off and pull Scooter alongside me.


I saw all kinds of interesting sights and a variety of colors.

A sea of white. Almost. |
Combining the yellow paint in the first picture and the orange roof in the second almost reminded me of the Skagen houses from earlier this month in Denmark.


I found the bluest of skies made for a nice background.

I wasn't gone all that long and didn't cover miles and miles of ground but it was just enough to make me feel like a local, especially when the number of people walking their dogs way outnumbered the cruise ship passengers.
I spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on the balcony in the sun watching boat traffic.

And since it's my wedding anniversary (39 years) I broke my no carb/no cheese streak and ordered a vegetarian pizza for lunch. With the time difference back home, my husband is still sleeping so he won't be none the wiser!
