A different fjord today. More rural. Another big walk ahead, up to a glacier this time.
The original plan was to take the local bus. After waiting for a bit with our group of friends, I asked a local if we were waiting in the right place. She told us that she didn’t think the bus had started running. It was too early in the season. Sure enough, we checked with the information office. The bus doesn’t start until June 1. We ended up getting a rather expensive taxi ride (8 sharing but we paid individually!) but it was still a lot cheaper than anything else on offer. Probably a lot more comfortable too.
It was an hour hike up to the glacier, but a beautiful walk.
Early morning view from our cabin
Securing the ship can be a challenge
The glacial lake on our way up
An avalanche tunnel
It was darn cold. I’m glad I had my pole too
Not as spectacular as some other glaciers we have seen, but worth the walk, just for the gorgeous scenery
The glacial lake on our return drive with the sun shining, now a gorgeous turquoise
This place is a popular camping and hiking area. We liked this stop.
Tomorrow Bergen, our last port
