Holiday Photo Alert

Pics from my once-in-a-lifetime holiday - the one I want to do again!!!  Lots of pics, but hopefully worth looking through - I saved the best for last!

Our suite


 On deck

 

 My new friend, outside the ship's shop

The amazing Lofoton Islands - such a beautiful area



The mouth of the Troll Fjord - avalanche risk meant we couldn't enter :-(

Leaving the Arctic Circle

On the bridge

 The old fish warehouses in Bergen

Frozen waterfall

 Frozen Benta

 I did manage to find a few fabric shops


All of which was great, but the main highlight was sight of these lights in the night sky . . .

    Goodness! Great photos. Pics of the fabric that you bought seem a bit sparse though, are you saving them for another post? Perhaps you didn't have enough pennies left for fabric after splashing out for a suite! x

    Those Northern Lights photos take my breathe away. Hooray, hooray, I know someone who has seen them - that's the closest I've been! Your suite looks wonderful, a real treat for a special trip. All that ice is stunning - I feel this trip will inspire several textile projects :-) Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful time.
