Top, my ship anchored off Andoy Norway when we were on a North Atlantic Cruise. We had mountains on three sides and houses were built on those hill sides and were every pastel color you could think of, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The Northern lights were almost magical as well. The enlisted did not get to go ashore but the officers did which didn't do much for crew moral especially since the mayor of the city and his entourage rowed out to our ship and invited everyone ashore to have a party. We were the first American warship they had seen since WWII .
