Norwegian Jade - Fjords Cruise 25 August - 3 September -Day 4 - Hellesylt / Geirang

[Jack Staff]

Hellesylt is on the way to Geiranger and the ship stops for a short time to allow the disembarkation of passengers who have booked NCL tours.They will re-join the ship in Geiranger later that day.

 

The rest of us continue down the fjord to Geiranger. The Fjord is a UNESCO World Heritage site andis well worth viewing as the ship gently makes its way down it. Not far from Geiranger the ship will pass the Seven Sister and The Suitor waterfalls that face each other.

 

 

 

At Geiranger the ship moored alongside the floating dock andso disembarkation was easy. Geiranger is a small village that we were told had about 200 or so permanent residents. There were plenty of e-cars for hire but as we had no tours planned we went to look in the visor centre where a large sign informed us of what was available.

 

 

 

 

We chose a short tour to different viewpoints and were well rewarded. The roads tend to zig-zag up the mountains and the buses seem to fill those roads but there were no issues.

 

We liked Geiranger and found that we could easily pass time wandering around and just enjoying the atmosphere. Geiranger even has its own waterfall.

 

 

Tonight’s theatre event was ‘Mistika’ a magic act but as this type of magic show not our thing and we had been unimpressed at the Review show we gave it a miss and went to dinner in Aliza. The Flounder was very good.
