TROLLFJORD

There is an awesome fjord along the coast that all the ferries try to squeeze into. On the way N , it was a late evening adventure and they served Troll grog and goodies, and shone lights from the ferry onto the rocky cliff, that are basically straight up and down. The first time we did the "Trollfjord" it was our first trip to Norway and it was midnight in the summer and the sun was still out.    We partied hearty on the outside deck until after midnight. Lots of fun. 
This time around we reached the Fjord at night again, but it was cold and dark. After the southern turnaround we entered the Fjord on a sunny, but cool afternoon and really got to see it up close. Once in a while there is another ship at the end, but it is small quarters. Some people ran and got into the 2 outside hot tubs on board. We stood around and took pictures, ate waffles that they were cooking and drank hot toddies.  Going into the Fjord is such a tight squeeze, one can almost reach out and touch the rock cliffs. It is one of the many fun parts of sailing on the ferries. The scenery is gorgeous no matter what time of year or weather. The ferries are designed with huge windows and viewing areas with comfy seats and cozy areas to curl up and read, snooze, or have a bit of wine. This time we had something we never had before: WiFi ! It was totally worth the $$ one had to pay extra to get it. We had fast good internet the whole sail, and we were happy to have it.
