Aurora & Jewel of the Seas in Oslo
The final call on my Jewel of the Seas cruise was Oslo on the 14th July 2009.  I had previously been there on the 7th May when I was on Vision, but bad weather changed plans so instead of sightseeing we spent ten hours at the airport.  I was delighted to have another chance and hoped for better weather.  Sadly my camera had broken the night before leaving me to use Patrick's 3x zoom.  It did a reasonable job but what a comedown from the 18x with superior quality I was used to!  I know he thinks I was ungrateful but I wasn't really.  I could still take photos, just not as good as they would have been.  Anyway we had a 2pm arrival and a six hour stay.  The gorgeous Aurora would be in with us again, docked where Vision had two months earlier.  She had arrived for 8am and would be sailing at 6pm.  I was delighted to see her twice on this trip and would beat her home by a day.  As I spotted her in the distance it made me really miss my camera.  A Color Line ferry was nearby.
