July 8 - Geiranger, Norway

WOW - Just, W-O-W

Today we arrived in Geiranger, Norway one of the smallest towns in the country (permanent residents currently 220!) which is nestled in one of the most picturesque fjords.  While most of our fellow guests opted for the excursion that drove up the hairpin turns to the top of the valley for panoramic photos, like this one.....

........we opted for the close-up view and hopped on board a jet boat.  CLEARLY one of the highlights of the trip.  JUST amazing.  You can watch the 3 1/2 video highlight of the hour and a half adventure and while it's a good representation, it's just way too hard to completely capture the feeling of being completely surrounded by these towering mountains, the massive waterfalls and all the while flying over the surface of the water.  But, check it out......


Here are the best of the best moments captured in still photos....

Right up to the edge of the waterfall!

Just cruising!

Nearing the mouth of of the fjord, we turned around to head back and got this great shot of the mountains

SOOOOO close :)
