Not much to do but to stretch your legs. Must go to Sweet Fantasy's cafe and have a waffle, they are not too sweet and people are very funny.

Took the all day excursion to alta, so I wouldn't have to bother with tendering to leave the ship at alta (lol I know laziness is a big motivator for me). The rock paintings were cool.
