Copenhagen
14 czerwca 2022, Dania ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
We spent the afternoon exploring Copenhagen and doing our best to avoid jetlag. We walked from our hotel to the Stadhus (town hall), then down the Stroget (walking/shopping street) to Nyhavn, a picturesque small harbor lined with colorful houses. We grabbed lunch from a street vendor then visited Amalienborg Palace to see the Queen's Guards. The King's Garden and Rosenborg Castle were beautiful. We'll have one more day at the end of our trip to see a bit more of the city. Czytaj więcej

To Bergen and Førde
15 czerwca 2022, Norwegia ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
Today was a travel day. After a delicious breakfast we took the Metro back to the airport and flew from Copenhagen to Bergen, Norway. From there we drove north and crossed the Sognefjord by ferry. We continued on along fjords and through scenic valleys to the town of Førde on the Førdefjord. Czytaj więcej

The journey to Geiranger
16 czerwca 2022, Norwegia ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
We're calling this the OMG day! Spectacular scenery was waiting around every turn. We ran into a Norwegian traffic jam caused by a herd of mountain goats but still made it to Hellesylt in time to catch the car ferry to Geiranger. This was a day we'll never forget! Czytaj więcej

Day trip to Trollstigen
17 czerwca 2022, Norwegia ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
We left Geiranger this morning on a round-trip to Trollstigen (The Trolls' Ladder.) We climbed the switchbacks of the Eagles Road out of Geiranger to the Ørnesvingen viewpoint overlooking the Geirangerfjord. Continuing over the mountains we arrived at Eidsdal and took the car ferry to Linge. We stopped at Gudbrandsjuvet to see a spectacular waterfall cascading through a narrow gorge. We grabbed sandwiches for a picnic lunch and continued climbing through the alpine valley to Trollstigen. We made the drive down the 11 treacherous switchbacks. It was so much fun we made a u-turn and climbed back to the top before retracing our steps back to Geiranger. It was another day filled with breathtaking scenery. Czytaj więcej

A Day fit for a Queen
18 czerwca 2022, Norwegia ⋅ 🌧 46 °F
We left Geiranger early this morning on our way to Flåm. Our first stop was the Queen's Chair dedicated to Queen Sonja of Norway. Stacy said she could have sat there all day enjoying the view. We continued west over the pass into the Breiddalen Valley then turned south to Øvstefoss and the beautiful Hjelledalen Valley. Following the shoreline of Oppstrynsvatnet we made our way to Stryn for lunch. Then it was on to Kaupanger Stavkyrkje where a wedding ceremony was taking place. We sailed on the 2.5 hour car ferry from Kaupanger to Gudvangen down the Sognefjord and Nærøyfjord. It rained most of the way but we were still able to get out on deck and enjoy the spectacular scenery. From there it was a short drive to Flåm where we had dinner and enjoyed a walk around the marina. Czytaj więcej

To Flåm and back again
19 czerwca 2022, Norwegia ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
As Frodo said, "You step into the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to." Today was a day for adventures close to Flåm. We took the scenic Flåmsbana railway to Myrdal and back. Then after lunch the ferry from Flåm down the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord to Gudvangen with a quick shuttle bus ride back to Flåm. We fortunately had much better weather than yesterday. After dinner we drove to Stegastein Viewpoint for a panoramic view of the fjord. Then we made a visit to the charming Flåm Kyrkje. Czytaj więcej

Waterfalls along the way
20 czerwca 2022, Norwegia ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F
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 🇳🇴! Czytaj więcej

A Grand Tour around Copenhagen
21 czerwca 2022, Dania ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
Today we went on a small group guided tour to historic sites outside of Copenhagen. Our first stop was Kronborg Castle. It was originally built by Frederik II, but was reconstructed by Christian IV after a devastating fire destroyed all but the church. Kronborg is featured in Hamlet. The legendary warrior Holger the Dane sleeps in the catacombs under the castle. He will awake and fight if Denmark is ever attacked. Next we visited Frederiksborg Palace. It was also built by Christian IV and contains a beautiful church and gardens. We visited Roskilde, the original capitol of Denmark established by Harald Bluetooth. He built the original church in Roskilde when he declared Denmark to be a Christian nation. It was later expanded into Roskilde Cathedral which is famous as the burial location of 39 Danish royalty including Margrethe I, Frederik II, and Christian IV. Our last stop on the tour was the Viking Ship Museum which houses the remains of five original ships and a fully reconstructed replica ship. After returning to Copenhagen we spent the evening strolling around Tivoli Gardens. It was an enjoyable day filled with Danish history and beautiful sights. Czytaj więcej

Copenhagen & Cruising
22 czerwca 2022, Dania ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
We spent the morning visiting a few new sights in Copenhagen. After a delicious breakfast we set off to find the Little Mermaid. Along the way we stopped at our favorite Danish bakery, Lagkagehuset, for a kanelsnegle (cinnamon roll.) We continued down the Stroget, past Nyhavn, and through the Kastellet, a star-shaped military fortress. Along the way we passed Vore Faldne (Our Fallen) a memorial to Danish soldiers who lost their lives in WWII. We also passed St. Alban's Anglican Church. After visiting the Little Mermaid we made it to Amalienborg just in time to see the changing of the Queen's Guard at noon. We boarded our cruise ship, the Nieuw Statendam, in the early afternoon and got settled in. After a delicious dinner we enjoyed a very interesting presentation on the history of Holland America Line, and some music and dancing in one of the ship's lounges. Czytaj więcej

Sailing toward Bergen
23 czerwca 2022, North Sea ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
Today was a relaxing day at sea. I was pleased to find the Grand Dutch Cafe on board where I enjoyed pea soup with ham for lunch. They also offer pannekoeken, poffertjes, uitsmijters, croquettes,, and several other traditional Dutch dishes. What a treat! In the afternoon we attended a talk on the city of Bergen. Tonight was the captain's bon voyage toast and dinner. The evening show was a wonderfully talented and funny magician. Tomorrow we're off to see Bergen. Czytaj więcej
