Our ride into Geiranger, Norway was gorgeous. We had rooms on the back of the ship, so we could see the mountains on both sides of the ship. We saw the waterfall, ‘7 sisters’, from our porch.
We took a tour of the area. We went to Djupvass Chalet, which is 3100 feet above sea level. We stopped at the Flydal Gorge and could see our ship down below. We also went to the top of the snow covered mountainside of Mount Dalsnibba at 4500 feet above sea level.
We took some photos at Olden Valley. Then, we headed for the Briksdal Glacier, which was so beautiful. The walk up to it took us 2 hours. It was about a 2 ½ mile walk. First, we walked on a flatter surface uphill and then took the left fork in the road for the hike from hell.
We walked over lots of huge stones up the mountain. Mom was having a hard time, but I was proud of her. There was a separate path where horse drawn carriages were giving people rides.
We walked quite a while to get to the foot of the glacier. We stood right on the glacier. The glacier was icy and blue. It was a gorgeous site to see.
I enjoyed the scenery today. I don’t think I would live here, as it is cold and cloudy.
Back on the boat, we went to a seminar about hair. The lady said to use regular shampoo with moisturizer. It will help keep the hair fuller and not flat.
