    How amazing to be on a Norwegian fjords cruise 😊 lovely breakfast to start the day. So beautiful to see the local area. I’m intrigued by those fish and chips now lol. Such lovely buildings! Love that fishing is popular. Such a lovely harbour. Nice you had a knowledgeable driver to share info with you! Stunning views up there, wow! Oh the food yum! The burger looks great!! Awesome video as always! 😊💕

    what an awesome day, amazing how many things you got done. especially the side trip you took to the bunkers, darn the weather stopped you from going inside. so interesting to see how the history is preserved. Norway looked great! thanks for sharing ✨

      Norway is a beautiful country and has a very interesting history much of which I didn’t know about before visiting.

    What a great time. I have to say that I rarely see really bad food from the cruises. I didnt know you guys have some longer cruises in that area. I thought only in the Caribbeans. LIKE 4. 👍👍👍

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  Рік тому +1

      Cruise food is usually really good and plentiful. This cruise was a week long but there’s many that are for 2 weeks!
      I need to get back to the Caribbean because this was one chilly and wet trip 😂

    Learning about that bunker and the area's WW2 history was fascinating. The views from the Aksla Viewpoint were amazing. Norway looks amazing. I have always wanted to visit Norway ever since riding Maelstrom at Epcot years ago. LOL. Thanks for taking us along on your excursion!

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  Рік тому +1

      I didn’t know anything about the bunkers or this history so I was pleased to have gone up there.
      I’m the same, the cruise is the closest I’ll get to riding Maelstrom these days. I miss that ride.

    Ouu...the green footsteps...like the yellow brick road!😂
    Sorry the weather seemed a bit damp and chilly.
    Love the statue tributes!!!
    Definitely a fishing town!👍
    Shame about the big fire in 1904.
    Wait...there's a hotel room in the lighthouse??? Wow!!!
    And wait...an undersea tunnel???
    Amazing!!!
    It's Great to hear the History of the war bunkers.
    Love the views were Wonderful and all the food looked delicious!!!
    Thanks So Much for the tour and I hope the birthday member had an Awesome Special Day!!!

      It was such a busy day, there was far more going on here than I expected. I’d have liked to have seen the hotel room in the lighthouse but I would think it’d be a bit claustrophobic.
      I do like WWII history and especially when I was unaware it was there.
      Yes, it was a great Birthday celebration 🎉

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  Рік тому +2

      I’m the same, I’ve been to 6 Norwegian ports so far but I think a smaller ship may be able to get deeper into the fjords.
      I would highly recommend Alesund, it was a real highlight of the trip.

    I would like tp explore this town especially on a warmer day. The town is beautiful. 150 year old light house as a honeymoon suite. I'm a history buff as well. Norway is beautiful. 👍

    • @ALifeintheParks

      That the thing with Norway, the weather is very unpredictable even in July when I visited.
      There’s plenty of history especially WW2 in Norway which kind of gets missed. Many thanks for watching ☺️

    @earsandideas7266 Рік тому +1

    Shame the weather wasn't the best for you. The green footsteps is a great tip. Alesund certainly looks prettier, with better views of mountains than Stavanger and Haugesund. If we do the Norweigian Fjords again, I will try and get one with Alesund on the itinerary. The scenic views you get was stunning.

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  Рік тому +2

      The weather seemed typically Norwegian for this whole trip!
      I think that Ålesund is an underrated place as there was plenty to see and yes, the views were spectacular.

    Another great video! First and most important it is never to early for fish and chips and you should have had some Reindeer it's really nice! How long do you normally get on shore do you feel rushed to get to see everything you want to see?

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  Рік тому +2

      Ha ha, I was very tempted by the fish n chips. Have you tried reindeer meat then? I suppose it would be like venison?
      I’ve not really felt rushed except the day before when I only had four hours at the port. I always plan out my days to prioritise what I want to do.
