Norway cruise - 2018 Aug 31 - Sep 06

All thumbnails link to full size image.

Introduction
There is a movie It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium about a coach tour of Europe. On this trip one could say "it’s 00:45 so this must be Mehamn, it’s 02:45 so this must be Kjøllefjord" and so on through a total of eight ports in 24 hours This example is from the southbound leg of the cruise which we did not do but the leg we did do was equally hectic involving 36 stops in seven days. For what it's worth, I got photos at 30 of these 36 stops although several are just a shot of street lights seen from our cabin port hole.
This may be a cruise to some incredible scenery but it is also a working ferry: at every stop people, cars and goods get on or off to do just part of the voyage.

Gatwick → Bergen

These satellite dishes seem to be pointing almost horizontally. In fact they are at 30° above horizontal that is because Bergen is at 60° North and geostationary satellites are above the equator.

When this ship was built in 2002 the designers said "we will provide a space with a few computers so people can check their emails". In 2018 the computers have gone because anybody who wants internet access has brought an access device with them. And good quality Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship.
Before we went out I had bought 35G bytes of internet data access via the GSM network (mobile phone to you). I was very impressed with the mobile coverage considering we were out at sea and passing some very sparsely inhabited country.
Only once in the entire voyage did I notice a loss of GSM availability and that for about fifteen minutes only. Interestingly the on-board internet failed at the same time suggesting that the ship's internet is provided via GSM - I had assumed it came via satellite.

Builders' drawing of Trollfjord dated 2002. Note a transmission shaft running astern - perhaps the idea of generating electricity and using that to drive the propellers came later.

If this was one of those "idiot drivers" videos that I like to watch on YouTube, the fork lift driver would push a bit more and the top pallet would fall into the water! But this is real life and the driver called for assistance to get it pushed properly on to the forks.

I think the blue tint on these six pictures is because they were taken through the windows of the Deck 8/9 lounges.

It is called Jenny Lind - a name we know well. She is remembered in Sutton.
2018-09-06 11:40:09 Fr:5/189548 Sq:06114409
Note "Passport control" in Russian - we are just 18km from Russia.
And about 30° E: the same longitude as Istanbul but it does not seem so far. At the equator 1° of longitude is 111 km but at 70° N like Kirkenes 1° of longitude is only 38 km.

Oslo

Seen from inside the terminal building of Gardermoen Airport. Improbably tall control tower and curious sculpture of man throwing paper dart.
