A day full of action

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.

After lunch and a short break we started with our bridge visits.

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.

 The evening ended with an Udo Jürgens show by our pianist Ralf.
