First few days of the cruising life. A full day and night at sea, a day in Skagen, then an overnight at sea, and the next day in Aarhus.
The cruise ship experience is kind of surreal. Two thousand of us, in a floating convention hotel? Like parts of it a lot, and some parts not as much. And now believe that what several friends have told me is absolutely true: despite any amount of exercise you get (and Katie and I have done 18000+ steps of walking just today), be prepared to gain at least a pound a day! There is no chance of famine on board.
Couple of photos -- the ship clearing last lock leaving Netherlands and entering the North Sea, Katie and a friend (Jane) walking in Skagen, the crowded sea between Skagen and Aarhus (look close and you can see another ship in the distance), beautiful candle burning in church built around 1000 A.D. in Aarhus and now essentially subterranean and part of the foundation of the current church (Vor Frue Kirke), and finally the view from our cabin while parked in Aarhus.
Must be about time to go eat again now??
