Located in the middle of these giant mountains, the
fjords, which are bodies of sea water that flows in to the inner part of Norway
(kind of like our bays)....Eidfjord is a little tiny place literally dwarfed by
the soaring mountains around it. Breathtaking is an understatement.... We have
never seen anything like it, including the glacier areas of Alaska. The
mountains soar 4000 feet almost straight up ..... With sheer cliffs coming down
to the water. We went to the museum....saw a video, and then got one, as it is
the best way to show this incredible area. Not many of the cruise ships come in
here as they can only handle one at a time..but well worth it if only for the
natural beauty.
A bit cloudy and colder today as we are getting closer to
the North Pole.....but a great day to just enjoy this incredible beauty.
By the day, becoming more impressed with Norway. Very
clean, .....very, very progressive, and very industrious.....which is so key to
surviving in these cold areas. By the way, leading country in the world for
electric cars...all over the place..and all models...
Off to Bergen...the 2nd largest city in Norway and former
capital....more later.
