Today I went on my first P&O organised shore excursion, a heritage walk through the art nouveau town of Ålesund. On the 23rd January 1904, a fire burnt the town to the ground leaving 10,000 people homeless. Luckily though, only 1 person was injured yet the whole the town had to be rebuilt and so it was, in fabulous art nouveau style.
Before you ask, I did not climb ‘city hill’ even if there is a restaurant on top. Instead I took a brief respite and kanelsnurr (the fluffiest and most delicious cinnamon bun that you’ve ever had) at Racoon Coffee and More. The cafe can be found on Kong's Gate 6.
We returned to the ship for a late lunch and a quick dip in one of the ship’s 5 swimming pools before a night of comedy on board the Britannia.
