Hi all, We're now off the ship. Scenery in Norway was breathtaking. The fjords were so spectacular. We went up to the top of mountains in trains & buses. Now in England. Spent today popping into old historic churches in small villages (lots of thatched houses). From 3-4pm we attended a free recital (piano & organ) in the church where Richard 111 was baptised. His mother & father are buried here. As some of you may know his remains were recently found. They have been interred now in Leicester cathedral although the church where we were today (in the village of Fotheringhay) reckon they had the stronger claim. Here endeth your history lesson for today. we wish you all safe travels back in Oz. Regards Alice
