Skjolden

The mountains beyond Skjolden. 
Skjolden is at the end of the longest and deepest fjord in Europe and has a population of just 200 people. We were all awake before sunrise to take in the scenic cruise, some more awake than others. Spectacular, perfect weather again for a few hours strolling around the small Norwegian village. Walked beside the river to the lama farm and had a drink by the water watching the RIB tours come back. After lunch back on the ship we all caught up with some lost sleep ready for dinner at Qsine later.
We had an invitation to go to the helipad at the bow for the evening sailaway with the officers and a glass or two of champagne and a unique view of the ffjord. We had a good view of the high Feigefossen waterfall from the bow as we sailed by. 
The meal in Qsine was different with some very tasty fish fishes but there is just too much choice and we ordered too much food. Rosemary had to eat 6 french trimmed lamb chops! They were delicious apparently. Then it was back to our cabin for the reverse cruise to Geiranger over night.
