Geiranger & Andalsnes

Rough seas in the North Sea last night. Our ship rocked up and down and rolled left and right the entire night. It was at least 15 to 20 foot swells!

After today we will head to the Norwegian Sea so hopefully sailing will be smoother.

We spent most of the day sailing and while the weather is dreary we still had spectacular views.

There isn’t much to do in the ship. There are no entertainment venues except for the expedition expert that gives a daily lecture.

Lunch

We had lunch in the fine dining restaurant and the food was excellent.

The portions may seem small but the food has high dense nutrition. All the food on the ship is sourced locally and fresh and it is amazing.

There is no buffet on this ship as it leads to enormous food waste so all servings are modest but it is possible to ask for more food if you are still hungry. We haven’t asked for any extra portions yet.

Excursion

We headed out to Geiranger for our excursion and the views of the fjord were amazing.

The only catch was it was a long bus ride to the site and an even longer bus ride to the next stop.

Our second stop Andalsnes had a gondola you can take up to the top of the mountain. We had dinner at a restaurant at the top.

It is worthwhile mentioning that our ship dropped us off and Geiranger and we will re-board in Monde. This means that we will travel bus and ferries to meet our ship at its next destination. We left at 2 pm and won’t be back on the ship till 10 pm.

We will be getting back dead tired.
