Fjordland

Today we're getting even more familiar, in the morning we enter the Eidfjord until we reach Ulvik, a small village with surprisingly big hotels, which is due to the fact that some companies simply love to hold their conferences in these remote places. Who wouldn't…
The Hotel Manager is also the ship's agent, and so we are welcomed by two offices in one person on the jetty which they just put in the water yesterday, only for us…

So, walking and marvelling and taking pictures is the best you can do to spend a relaxing morning, and also practising getting in and out of the Polar Cirkel boats. Well, the Fjord was calm like a mirror - ideal training conditions!



Later on we proceed deeper and deeper into the serrated coastline, the surrounding walls get higher and higher, until we make fast in Eidfjord, a peaceful village at the foot of the Hardangervidda. Hikers paradise greets us with traditional music, presented by several generations of singers and musicians-to-be. Well, there is certainly not enough time for an extended mountain adventure, but the brisker walkers manage to do the little roundtrip to the lake, just to get a taste of it and maybe to come back another time.
