Eighty-eight people aboard a Holland America cruise ship, the Eurodam, in the Caribbean were sickened in a norovirus outbreak -- the fifth striking the line since early December.

The breakdown was 79 of the 2,057 guests and nine of the 834 crew members, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. This represented about 3% of those onboard.

For #FotoMontag a departing view of the village of Flåm in Norway from last year's visit there. It's one of the prettiest locations in an incredibly pretty part of the world, and it doesn't hurt that it's got an incredible brewery there.

We're several decks high on a ship leaving a low-lying village settled on a triangular patch of nearly flat ground at the base where two mountain ridges split apart from the narrower valley they've carved out of the landscape behind. It's a bright day with a mix of light blue sky and patches of puffy white clouds above. The longer chain of hills and mountains runs from the left across the field of view, overlapped in front by the slope on the right of the nearer, taller, more verdant rocky formations. Sheer faces of dark rock poke out amongst the greenery of trees clinging to any flat surface and growing tall, though tiny and difficult to make out individually from this distance. The ground between the mountains and beside the flat, blue water of the fjord we're on is bright in the sunshine and a lush green with short grass. Houses and other low buildings mostly line the water's edge with roofs of red or grey tiles and walls of white for the most part.
