Geirangerfjord - 6/7
During the summer, 300,000 visoitors sail 70 miles down the Geirangerfjord. Why? Because the days are long and warm, and the fjord rivals Yosemite, CA. in the U.S. It is spectacular. The vistas of Geirangerfjord are edged with numerous waterfalls. Three of the most beautiful are the Seven Sisters, the Suitor, and Bridal Veil Falls. The Seven Sisters and Suitor are directly across from each other on the fjord, Legend is that the Suitor is imploring the Sisters to marry him, but is forever rejected. Depressed, he falls to the bottle.
the Bridal Veil is a more delicate falls, misting over the sheer rocks.
From kayaks, we had a unique perspective on the fjord:
While from our ship, the Silver Explorer, we viewed both mountains and fjord.
