Geiranger, Norway....Magnificient Fjords & Glaciers...




Breathtaking vistas peaked out behind the clouds, crashing waterfalls everywhere you looked, snow, ice, and glaciers were all part of the amazing scenery in Geiranger and vicinity. We're traveling on the Viking Sky's "Into the Midnight Sun" cruise and this destination has been the most scenic.

We opted for the Fjords and Glaciers optional excursion and were not disappointed. We arrived around 8 AM and were tendered into the port. On the way in to port, we saw massive waterfalls in the fjord cascading over the mountain top. Everywhere you looked you see a new breathtaking scene awaited you. My pictures don't do it justice. You must go there in person to witness the beauty and splendor!

Our tour was was about 7 hours and much of it was in a bus. We traveled on hairpin turn roads and had  a luncheon at one of the hotels in a nearby town. The lunch was okay, nothing spectacular. They loved to use a lot of mayonnaise in their salads. You will get your fill of fish while in Norway.

We stopped at various points to admire the view. One stop toward the end of the tour we experienced snow. Many times we were enveloped in clouds. It was an amazing trip and one I highly recommend. It was worth the price!

I'm going to miss Norway but am looking forward to returning next year!

Happy travels and thanks for stopping by!
