Our final stop in Norway was in Stavanger. We visited a museum detailing how the oil industry works, another museum that showed the sardine canning process, and the old part of town with its wooden houses. This was part of the shopping area \u2014 really pretty!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The following day was our final at-sea day, with our arrival back in Amsterdam early the next morning. We flew home that day, which amounted to our having a 29-hour day! LOL! We had gotten up at around 4:00 AM (European time) to get breakfast and be ready for disembarking on time (and because we couldn’t sleep ), and we didn’t get to bed at home until after midnight that night \u2014 which was actually 9:00AM of the following day in Europe. <\/g><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One last tidbit about our trip is that I quite accidentally came across two Bernina shops in Norway! Since I’m a Bernina user, this was really a coincidence. This first one was in Haugesund, and I did go inside for a quick look.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The second one was in Stavanger, but this time I didn’t go inside, as we were pretty tired by then.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now it’s back to normal! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
