Day 3 on the Hurtigruten began promptly at 6:00am when the cell phone alarm started blaring. We had to be out of our room by 7:00am and the ship docked at Trondheim at 8:00am. It was an EARLY morning! We did not have a room to sleep in on this final night on the boat. [...]

Hillsong United
I have been listening to a lot of music on Youtube lately because sadly Pandora does not work overseas
One of the neat functions of youtube, is that you can listen to an entire playlist from a musician (etc.). I happened upon this by accident & it’s unlikely that I could actually do it [...]

Photos From Ålesund (End of Day 2 Hurtigruten)
After leaving the beautiful Geiranger Fjord, we sailed back to Alesund and got off the ship for a quick walk around the city. We only had about 45 mins, just enough for a taste of what Alesund had to offer. It looked like a beautiful & quaint little town. Here are some of our favorite [...]

Brunost: Brown Cheese
Steve and I have developed a liking for a common Norwegian treat! It’s called brunost (according to the internet) or brown cheese.
News Flash, Steve & Brittany love cheese. Okay, so maybe not a news flash. Being from WI we love most types of cheese… hmmm cheese curds… But this cheese is very different from anything [...]

More from the Geiranger Fjord
It’s so tough to decide which of the BaZiLLoN photos that I’ve taken are “good enough” to be included on the blog… so here are a few more from the Geiranger Fjord. I’ve also included a few shots where we decided to be silly! So hopefully those ones will make you smile.
Steve got all artistic [...]

Taco Casserole
All of my recipes lately have been “main courses” as I’m limited in what I can make while we’re here. I did bake some package brownies the other day, but boy they just aren’t the same as the homemade kind with gooey fudge frosting. I promise I’ll expand my recipe categories to include breads, breakfast, [...]

Day 2 Hurtigruten Geiranger Fjord
The second day on the cruise ship, we started by docking in Alesund. The day started out dreary, but as we pulled into the Geiranger Fjord, the sun poured through the clouds the amazing beauty of the land was revealed. I don’t have much commentary for these photos…but I think that they speak for themselves… [...]
