OK, the ship getting stuck on a sand bank was a bit inconvenient, and probably had the Captain cursing a bit, but for the passengers, it just added interest. They all managed to get away on their respective tours, and Peter and I escorted the two busloads to a Viking Musuem
However, for the Norwegians this is big news, (they don't have much to do around here), we've had news helicopters overhead, the coast guard come pay a visit and Norwegian folk rubber necking as they drive by. Apparently we've been headlining the tv, the radio and the newspapers.
Cruise ship stuck in Norway
Well, at about half past 5, the tide came in, and tugs pulled the ship out. Easy peasy and without fuss. I bet the Captain and the pilot wished they'd known that earlier today. We've had all sorts of fun n games with tugs and winches n stuff.
The tour wasn't too bad either. I'll try and update the pictures as soon as I get a chance
