September 9, 2019 - Day 8 -  Kristiansand, Norway

It rained hard all day long. We planned on doing the Segway tour today at 10:00 but it was rained out so we rescheduled for 12:00. It was also rained out. This was disappointing as we were looking very forward to the Segway tour. We were so sorry for the owner since he said this was the largest ship to visit the city this year. He lost a lot of bookings.  Even though it was raining hard we did a little shopping on the boardwalk.  We found a wonderful gift ship and bought a Norway  90% down jacket and a couple of hats.  After arriving back to our cruise room we had to change clothes and sox and shoes because we were drenched.  We had an umbrella but it rained so hard that we still got wet.  We then watched a movie in our room.  Our tablemate at dinner was still a little crude but he wasn’t drunk so we decided to stay put for the cruise.  It’s an interesting table, one couple has a drinking problem and the other couple included an 85 year old man that has dementia.  It was a table for six.  It will be interesting to see how this all works out.  We will probably eat elsewhere at least three times.
