Geirangerfjord
My favorite part was Geirangerfjord – lots of mountains, water and scenic views. Wow.
- View of the fjord looking over the villiage of Geiranger
Going on a tour, we went up a mountain on a bus ride, from sea level to 1500 meters. What a bus ride that was, with hair pin turns and incredible views. It was also amazing to watch those massive cruise ships manuver and pivot around in the small bay.
Grass roof on a Geiranger heritiage home
The grass/sod on the roofs where a practical insulation from temperature extremes of heat and cold. The tour stories was that to trim the roof when it got shaggy, the owners would throw some goats up there to mow it down.
Peaking at the sun at the top of the world
I had never flown so far north, it was facinating to chase the sun, it never really went down completely, even at night, the sun could be seen over the top of the otherside of the world. The flight went from Seattle to Iceland to Copenhagen.
Evening in Geirangerfjord
OMG – the calm waters and the evening light. What a joy to experience.
Kayaking Geirangerfjord
The colors was so amazing, intense blues and greens everywhere.
Farm house in Geiranger
Some of these farm houses were many centuries old. There was no freebies in this area, prior to tourism. They had to carve out everything for themselves to just survive. It was amazing to hear and see.
Cuddling a Troll
We met several trolls in Norway. They are considered good luck anymore.
Funny thing – I never saw one Norwegian Fjord Horse while being in Norway. I had to come home to see my own fjord horse girlies – heh.
