July 9 and 10, 2017 at sea and Gravadl/Lofoten

Today was a VERY special day for us, we were going to see our Norwegian daughter Ellen. We were so excited, I had a hard time sleeping. 

We had a sea day before, so we could be sure not to forget anything, we were ready to get off the ship right at 8:45 so we were off and waiting for Ellen. 

She came right at nine. The port is very small, and manageable, but you can't walk to town and there was no shuttle that we saw. So it was great we had Ellen, in so many ways. 

Ellen picked us up at nine, and drove us first to her favorite beach, where she walks her dog, it was beautiful.

We then had a bit of a picnic, she brought cookies and hot water for tea, it was so nice to have time to just relax, and catch up about the last 18 years. 

After this time it was time to go and do a wee bit of sightseeing. 

The island is very beautiful and I wish we had more time to see more of it. To be continued.....
