Day Three at Sea - Trondheim
Well, dinner last night was at a communal table - and a nice bunch they were! Interestingly, someone else at the table had a wine package and wanted red, but fancied the fish - and they tend to match the wine to the food. On the other hand, I wanted white, but fancied the lamb - so we decided to do a sneaky swap. She ended up with the house red, I with a Riesling .. slightly fizzy, not ideal, but never mind. OMG though, the food was gorgeous.. far superior to the buffet offerings, really first-class. I had soup - something of a consommé, unusual taste, but very pleasant - and wow, the murmurs of appreciation from around the table for the lamb and the fish.. again, we weren't so familiar with the flavours, but we were so impressed. Ice cream for me, for dessert - and yum, it came with chocolate sauce! Wow, if we're fed to this standard every night.. Much of the talk, of course, centred on the Northern Lights - and it was about 10pm when the first announcement came through that ...
