Let the Water Falls Begin

The Good, the Bad and the BEAUTIFUL.

The Good. The Free breakfast. Yesterday, I mentioned how good the breakfast is. We're including a video to show you how breakfast is done in Europe. If I gain weight this trip, the breakfasts will play a big part in that.

The Bad. Rain. It rained on and off, mostly on, all day. Sometimes it was really heavy. But, we were so fortunate that whenever we stopped to see some sights the rain seldom bothered us.

The BEAUTIFUL. Norway's Fjords. The magnificence of the landscape is astoundingly breathtaking, green, lush, steep mountains meeting tranquil fjords, raging rivers and an endless array of waterfalls. It is impossible to drive very far without seeing water spilling over the side of a mountain. Some are shoe strings of water cascading downward. Many are raging torrents of water. This is only day one along the fjords and we're already awestruck. Obviously, we'll include pictures, but as with most of nature, a photograph can't truly capture its breathtaking beauty. But we'll try.

So, if you are not a fan of waterfalls, we apologize. Our photos and movies for the next several days are likely to be dominated with them. If you are a fan, enjoy and try to imagine how beautiful and magnificent they really are.Read more
