We left Geiranger on the ferry shortly after 9:30 a.m. on Monday, June 18th and had even better views of the fabulous Geirangerfjord as we took the 20 mi. journey to Hellesylt in cloudy, but not rainy weather. The waterfall at the left (one of dozens of spectacular ones en route) reminded me a lot of Yosemite Falls. For most all of the journey we sat on the upper deck of the ferry in order to get the best views. On arriving in Hellesylt we had about a 45 minute wait
for the regular bus to Alesund. Prior to arriving, however, it was pointed out that the waterfall pictured below is called
The Seven Sisters (Count 'em & see if you can see 7 different streams!) with accompanying mythology that informs us that the huge waterfall across the canyon (not pictured) had proposed marriage many times but had always been refused. - rw

Wow! Unbelievably beautiful!
I wonder whether in August it becomes the 0 Sisters. For now, though, looks spectacular as with all your pics.
