"Known as the best
travel destination in Scandinavia, a spectacular fjord famous for the seven sisters
waterfalls."
Woke this morning just drifting at Hellysylt, tenders out
discharging those passengers who are doing a round trip to Geiranger, very
cloudy at about 11 degrees and some rain about this morning. Breakfast on open deck taking in the surrounding
views of the fjord. Then a slow passage
to Geiranger - lots of waterfalls.
At Geiranger the ship did a 360 pirouette to re calibrate the
magnic compass, apparently a annual requirement.
After morning Trivia, coffee time, and then went ashore by
tender. Two other ships were also in
Geiranger - the Costa Pacifica (who we had seen a couple of times already) and
the Holland America Rotterdam so the town was quite busy. We walked around the town in the rain along
with a lot of other people equally aimless, but at least we can say we have now
been ashore in Geiranger at our 3rd try!

Sailaway, 53 nautical miles down to the sea, passing numerous
spectacular waterfalls and dramatic cliffs.
Still raining, sometimes it looked like snow. Down at the coast some burst of sunlight
giving the occasional rainbow.
Dinner in buffet followed by the Production show in the
Caberet Lounge "Do you Wanna Dance"
yet again another good show.
After the show went up to the Pacific Lounge for tonight's trivia -
famous faces with Basil - not very good in fact awful. Basil being a Dutch South African creates a
great deal of comment about his pronunciation but most of the time accepts this
with good grace.
This evenings sunset would have been just after 11pm but it was
too overcast to tell.
