Our Nordic Adventure

We left Flåm early this morning to drive back to the Bergen airport. Along the way we stopped at three beautiful waterfalls. Tvindefossen was the largest with multiple streams and levels of cascading water. Our next stop was Skjervefossen. We took a short hike to the top of the falls, and although the roar of the water was intense the view was limited. Fortunately, a bit further down the road there was another turnout with a spectacular view of the falls. After a scenic drive along The Hardangerfjord, our final stop was Steinsdalsfossen, an immense jet of water that shoots out from the mountain wall with a hiking trail behind the falls. So yes, we got to see the backside of water (ooh aah)! Sorry, that's an old joke from my days on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. We'll be back in Copenhagen soon, even though our flight was canceled and we were rerouted through Oslo. The upside is that we get to add one more city to our adventures in Norway 🇳🇴!Lue lisää

We spent the day in the beautiful town of Bergen, Norway. We joined a walking tour in the morning that gave the history of the city from the time of the Hanseatic League up through today. We saw King Håkon's Hall, Bryggen, the Fish Market, and St. Mary's Church. After lunch we rode the Fløibanen funicular to the top of Mt. Fløyen for a panoramic view of Bergen. Then we walked down a forested trail back to the city center. After a bit of shopping and a stop for a Softi ice cream we headed back to the ship. We enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner tonight at Canaletto and a pop hits performance by a vocal group called Cantaré.Lue lisää
