A part of the trip was through heavy seas and the cattle held on the fore-deck where falling and sliding—was awful to see and hear, but it seemed that they did get through it all. The cabin for four was not much more than a couple of bunks in a closet. What and adventure. The food was mostly fish and potatoes. Rich pastries and coffee made the desert. These were very different times for Norway—not even similar to now. I hope to see glass cased ships models and some original floor-plans of the “staterooms” as well as the preserved MS Finnmark in the museum—what a history!.

Only lovely thoughts of going to a museum without the need to work or criticize the execution. I am planning my trip now for 2020.
