Norway - Flam and the Fjords in Between

The next Norwegian town we were heading to was Flam! As I really decided to do more scenic cruising the time I come back here, well, I stayed onboard (though this was one of those rare times we docked alongside) and was just sooo happy when we departed. Yes happy! Or was I too harsh?

I didn't mean to say I would love to leave but I was just sooo excited for the next few hours after leaving the port. You would understand me. I would love to explain my point! Haha

Leaving Flam means seeing settlements in the middle of nowhere. I mean, just imagine seeing human life in between vast and ice-capped fjords! So unbelievable how they, in the first place, thought to settle there? Amazing!


Next up, it was a drizzling afternoon and I just love seeing the smoke as it covered some parts of the fjords..


And that thrilling moment as the ship glided through the narrow body of water - which makes me sooo thankful to be in a not-so-big ship..




It was sooo cold and the passengers seemed to be so concern as I was not wearing anything aside from my usual uniform. Honestly, I just forgot it was freakin freezing!



So, after a few more minutes, when the cold sank in, I made my way to the cabin and continued to appreciate the view outside. Oh God, Thank You!

Norway - Olden and the Fjords in Between

One of the best places on earth blessed with soooo much natural beauty is this country lying in the northern part of the world - Norway!

I know this has not been my first time to visit but in all honesty, coming back over and over does not make it less beautiful. It makes you wonder more and every single time you open your porthole to see what the heck is outside, you will either stop and stare with great awe or make yourself out the deck and see it in full glory.

So when we had our first ever stop in Olden, I did not go out to eat chicken. I preferred to stay onboard and luckily, as I had my break, we set sail. I don't know how to really describe what I saw but I'm going to give you a glimpse and I hope I would give justice to it. Enjoy!







Oh Norway, I hope we will never stop visiting you!
