The Lone Geriranger

Geiranger was our latest piece of eye candy, set in a National Park, valued by the nation for outstanding natural beauty and a United Nations recognised World Site and within seconds you can understand why, to say it is jaw dropping is an understatement. Unfortunately the internet onboard is so slow and expensive it would take too long and cost a fortune to upload the photographs and video I have taken, when I get home and have given my one pair of knickers and the pair of socks a wash I will upload the images for you to enjoy. The waterfalls alone are amazing especially the Seven Sisters that cascade down into the Fjord and immediately opposite is another larger fall that is nicknamed the big brother (far more interesting and intelligent than the TV programme) the sound of water thundering from height is like rolling thunder. Our Captain or as I refer to him as people get all reverential "The Bus Driver" spun the ship through 360 degrees so everyone could get a great view, this was accompanied by classical music being played through the ships PA system which added to the natural splendour. Even the village at the end of the Fjord is built around a cascade that tumbles down the folds it has cut over the centuries. I am sorry that there are not all that many funnies in this small piece but the subject and place demand the upmost respect, which you will be able to judge when the images are uploaded.
