I’ve wanted to see the Geirangerfjord for years and it didn’t disappoint. The only problem was photographing all of it. You really have to see it in person to take in all of the grandeur.

We had to take these tenders because the cruise ship wouldn’t fit.

As you can see, the mountains are really high.

I love the greens and blues.

When I first looked at this photo, I thought the little red things were some kind of markers, like they have in swimming pools to show lanes. But when I blew up the photo I saw people in kayaks! The white thing is the size of a tugboat. This gives you an idea of the scale of the area.

Some areas were really rocky.

I imagine everyone who lives in this area would have to own a boat.

When we got out of the tenders there was kind of an outpost where there were restaurants…

A grocery store named “Joker.” I think Norwegians pronounce “J” like a “Y.”

A bakery…

…where they were offering pastries like these.

Wish we could have tried them, but we weren’t hungry at all.

One last shot of waterfalls. I’ll have more next time.

Great weekend, everyone!
