Today we sailed through the Geirangerfjord to see the famous Seven Sisters waterfall. For some reason last night, I thought it was a good idea to get up at 4:30am to watch us sail past it in the morning. But I dutifully got up when the alarm went off (Remko was already on the bridge since 2:30am) and went outside in the cold, pouring rain. It was pretty cool with all the mist on the water and the early morning light, and I have to admit I felt lucky to see this.
Of course that was until about 3pm this afternoon when the sun came out and we WERE going to sail by them again. (I had thought it was a one-time thing.) Here’s what they look like in the sun.
And this time more people were out on deck to catch the view. It’s crazy how tall these falls are. Here’s a photo of everyone taking photos from the 11th deck onboard and we’re only halfway up the falls at that level.
Across the way there’s another waterfall that’s called the bachelor and it’s said he pines after the sisters and gets help from a bottle of whiskey that you can see in the shape of the falls. I didn’t see it, if you do can you post a comment and tell me where?
One of the passengers caused a fury of photos when he discovered another bachelor near those falls. I think it looks more like a man, what do you think? Can you see him in the rocks?
