Hurtigruten; Saturday, 05 May, 2018

We awoke to a damp Trondheim and an almost empty ship. When we’d boarded at Tromsø there had been five sittings for dinner, tonight there was just the one sitting, and that didn’t require much of the restaurant to accommodate.

Most of the day was spend sailing, first down the Trondheimsfjorden and then continuing down the coast until we eventually reached Kristiansund in the late afternoon.

Here we disembarked the ship to join the Atlantic Road tour, a journey along the coast road from Kristiansund to Molde.

The tour started by heading to an old stave church for a look around before continuing onto a restaurant near the start of the Atlantic Road. Here we stopped for a dinner of Bacalhau, a Portuguese dish made from the salted and dried clip fish that this part of Norway produces.

After dinner we travelled over the spectacular Atlantic Road, a series of bridges and dykes built between islands that mean at times you are on bridges across the Atlantic.

The tour continued on through stunning scenery of this part of Norway, before arriving into Molde at the same time as the MS Nordlys was arriving.

After re-boarding and watching as the ship left Molde we headed up to the bar for a final evening drink of the journey and then headed to bed.
