Hoopster95 Posted June 1 #709 Share Posted June 1 (edited) Awesome photos twangster. I went to 5pm trivia whereby I failed miserably even with biker’s help! I went to Chops right when they opened… with no lunch I was getting hangry, I worked hard for that 9oz filet! Great dinner tonight, everything was perfect. And I was done and out of there just as we were sailing away. I was out on the helipad for most of it.

Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #711 Share Posted June 1 Some pics from my good camera. I was up way too early. I started the timelapse running, grabbed a coffee in the lounge and snapped a few photos. This early there isn't much to see as we hadn't entered the fjord yet or where it narrows to become more interesting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #712 Share Posted June 1 Eventually we got to the good stuff. Waterfalls, more waterfalls and after that there were some waterfalls. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #713 Share Posted June 1 Finally we made it to the end of the fjord and Geiranger. The Seawalk that comes out to the ship. Excursion today is a Twizy. It's an electric car that seats one and a half. Okay it seats two, but in line with the passenger behind the driver. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #714 Share Posted June 1 I had the pleasure of @Hoopster95's company on this two hour adventure. After some instructions and guidance when to stop and turn around they let us loose in the Twizy. It had a GPS with a preloaded route and it talks at preset waypoints to give some local information. Our first overlook at the Queen's Bench was a bust. The cloud layer was too low. You could sometimes see the ship, barely. My 360 camera on a pole hanging over the cliff looking down thousands of feet to the river below. The Queen's Bench. I'm guessing the Queen had better weather. Back in the Twizy. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #715 Share Posted June 1 We were shown a picture of this stone bridge and advised that should be the extent of our outbound travel. The 360 camera shot makes the top of the bridge disappear. This wasn't intentional. just the exact placement of the camera didn't catch any of the face of the bridge. Cool effect. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #716 Share Posted June 1 The next overlook was above the Queen's Bench location and we could see it was clearing! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #717 Share Posted June 1 So it was back to the Queen's Bench... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #718 Share Posted June 1 We zoomed back down the mountain, through town and up the other road out of town to catch the view from the other side of town. At the top we were definitely in the cloud layer so the views weren't so great but on the way up and back down we did get some clearing occasionally. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #719 Share Posted June 1 After we dropped the Twizy off we walked back up the road to some spots we saw but couldn't stop when driving. Some sunshine! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #720 Share Posted June 1 We parted ways at the Visitor's center and I took the walk down the stairs along the river. There were some hang gliders, or para-something jumpers circling overhead. It was a very pleasant walk down along the river to a campground near the end of the fjord. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted June 1 #723 Share Posted June 1 Amazing ! It doesn't look like it would take much more water to put it over the banks there, by the port ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #724 Share Posted June 1 (edited) After lunch I wandered through town to get a shot of the ship from the road we drove the Twizy up. Speaking of a Twizy, some other Twizy-ers were coming back into town. The moving Sea Walk to the ship. Edited June 1 by twangster 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 1 Author #725 Share Posted June 1 The Twizy was an amazing experience and we were very fortunate the weather cleared up as much as it did. This was booked directly with a local tour company. Here is some video from my 360 camera of the Twizy tour and subsequent walk along the river. Geiranger is beautiful with a lot to do and see.
