Weekend Rewind...Bergen Part Two: Fjord Tour

Saturday we were lucky with good weather for the majority of the Fjord Trip and were able to get some great pictures. I swear I felt as if I was rolling through postcards. Hope you enjoy the scenes!

Just a little FYI...

Geologically, a fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created in a valley carved by glacial activity. The word comes to English from Icelandic, but related words are used in several Scandinavian languages, in many cases to refer to any long narrow body of water other than the more specific meaning it has in English. The coasts of Norway, Iceland, and Greenland have many fjords.




The floating bridge...the floor bed is too deep to anchor


Um can we say oil money!?



Just a little lunch on the tour...and if ya know me,  you know I LOVE hot dogs with mustard





This is a frame worthy pic of the Mr and me

There were so many waterfalls


Told yal it was BEAUTIFUL



So picturesque






The tour was 4 hours long and it was just perfect...not sure how some people do the 8 or 10 hour tours. It was a nice weekend getaway...and remember never live life too serious... 

Me not being serious...

Cheers, Nelly
