Disney Cruise - Iceland and Norway - Alesund Norway

Today was the day we arrived in Norway and I reached a personal goal of mine - Norway is my 37th country and I am still 37! I met someone who had this goal about 13 years ago, which inspired me to set the same goal, and wasn't sure I would reach it but I did!!! I have plans for country 38 while being 38 next year too.

For our excursion, I chose a visit to an open air Viking Museum and then the scenic overlook.

The day was gorgeous- they told us they only get about 4 days a year like the one we had in Alesund so we felt lucky! The different houses and stories were interesting - the girls especially liked seeing the size of the furniture and the schoolhouse.  They had more Viking information inside where we had free time and enjoyed ice cream treats.


We then went to the beautiful overlook where we could see the fjords in all their glory - beautiful views every direction you looked. C was definitely ready to have some down time on the ship but we did enjoy our time in Alesund.

We got back to the ship and headed to buffet lunch where we found our server Suttipong and his friend Tiger working - they entertained us during lunch for sure!

J went running off the ship while I took the girls swimming. C rode the yellow kids slide a few times and S rode AquaDunk a bunch of times! We enjoyed some ice cream and I think today was the day I accidentally put C's dress in with the towels (don't worry- we did get it back!).

We relaxed as we left Alesund and then visited characters before dinner at Rapunzel's.

The girls went to the kids club, J went for a second run, and I walked around deck 4.  S stayed at the Kids Club while J, C, and I went to Once Upon a Song - a new show for Disney. It was OK, I liked it and the end was amazing but it still has some kinks to work out for sure. C fell asleep during the show. I brought her to bed and J picked up S and some ice cream before bed.

We were also treated to an amazing sunset tonight - this was the first time we had seen the sunset in awhile since we were so far North and it did not disappoint. The seas were so incredibly calm too!

Note - at some point today, we visited characters!
