We spent the night in the harbour at the pier in Eidfjord
just next to a huge and nice looking hotel. But we have to say, it’s wonderful
to have the possibility to take the own hotel with you on your trip. Coming back
from a hike, a city tour or other activities, your cabin is waiting for you
again. No need to pack or unpack day by day. Your personal belongings are where
they should be already; it’s a bit like coming home.

This day turned out as a day full of activities. In the
early morning our kayakers started the first passenger cruise of this trip. Accompanied
by our experienced and well trained expedition team passengers went into the boats
for an unforgettable experience. Well equipped with dry suits, and even
chocolate and a bottle of water, kayak by kayak was pushed into the fjord – and
the tour could start, very well observed by the other passengers.

Some guests learned the city by themselves; others joined
our lecture team on the “footprints of the Vikings”.
Our Chef Johan Ludvik expected us on the pier already when
we came back after a morning full of new experiences. He had a typical Norwegian
cake prepared for us, the so called “krotekake”, something like a pancake made
out of potatoes. What a nice and warm welcome back on board.

The expedition team had some “brain
activities” prepared for us. Of course there have been lectures again, but
there has been a very special lesson too, a lesson in Hardanger embroidery.
Like school children passengers and even staff members learned from our
expedition leader Karin the first steps of this amazing needle work.
