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!

Iceland - Eskifjørdur - høfn

The last port of our Iceland adventure is the charming seaside town of Eskifjordur.

Taking this description from our Tour leaflets, this town is located in the middle of the East Fjords and takes its name from the fjord on which it sits .

I had the choice to go out because we were docked alongside but here I go again with my unpredictable personality. I did not explore it. I was looking outside the port hole and saw waterfalls running from the top of the very large fjord. I don't know what went wrong or right, I just felt I saw what has to be seen already. Haha

Well, just to give you a glimpse of this very simple fishing village, I braved the cold weather and went to the outside deck. Here's what I saw..










Maybe the next time I'll be here, I'll hop on a tour and see more and explore what this town has to offer. :)
