Ozbrecht 2019 - Iceland & The Baltics
Eidfjord, Norway
August 17
Approaching Eidfjord, at the end of Hardangerfjord, one of Norway's longest fjords
Eidfjord
The docking maneuver was masterful. We didn't feel the ship hit the dock (video)
Our excursion began on a bus to a train to the beautiful little town of Flåm
A roundabout inside a tunnel!
Skjervsfossen Waterfall
Although Andy & Sheila were unware of it - it's raining. And it will get worse
The village of Voss, where we moved from bus to passenger train
We were very fortunate with the weather - this was the worst weather day of our entire trip
Waterfalls everywhere
Kjosfossen Waterfall
Meet Huldra, enchanting Scandinavian forest creature (video on right)
Here we left the passenger train, and hopped on The Flåm Railway
Views from the train entering the Flåm Valley and Flam, a small village on the Aurlandsfjord
We only stayed in Flåm long enough to transfer to bus transportation back to the ship. For Flåm it was certainly more about the journey than the destination. It is a small village, and as you can see, a cruise ship destination, so likely very crowded
Our first stop on the return trip - the charming Stalheim Hotel, for lunch
The view out the back of the hotel.
Here's how it looked in nice weather. We didn't see this
Tvinde Waterfall. It was absolutely pouring. The four of us and maybe 3 or 4 others got out of the bus for the short hike to this view spot. We were soaked, but it was beautiful!
No more stops - we headed back to Eidfjord
However, the sky began to open up, so there were many beautiful views from our bus window
Eidfjord, and our ship, come into view
A little walkabout a very small town. Its population is less than 1,000
