We interrupt our scheduled programming...

... of foreign travel stories to bring you some pictures from Norway. These pics were taken on board the Skibladner, the oldest operating paddle steamer in the world. It was built in the mid 1850s and is still going strong. It's a handsome ship with a very stylish interior. As with pretty much everything else in this country it's a bit on the pricey side, but at around NOK 200 ($33) one way it's still worth a trip I think.


Some pictures of the interior (there are several lounges and a restaurant that seats around 70):

As you may have gathered from my Whitby photos, I like dramatic pics of the sky:
