Today we had a lengthy stop in Honningsvag. Since it is Sunday not much was open, despite the fact that three cruise ships had docked there. Besides the Trollfjord there was a HUGE ocean liner called the Ocean Princess. It had to have been at least three times the size of our ship! Terry and I took a long walk on shore and got to see the Honningsvag church. At the end of World War II when the Germans left this area they burned the entire city except for the church. Amid the burned ruins of the city stood the church, untouched. The pictures we saw of this were quite stark and gave us a clear idea of the kind of destruction that happened during the war. Tonight there will be a seafood buffet and we are hoping that they will serve king crab. Tomorrow morning we arrive in Kirkenes, which is the northern endpoint for the ship. From there we start the return trip to Bergen. Adjo for now!
