The Norwegian Airlines flight from Bergen to Alesund via Oslo was amazing! We flew over miles and miles of glaciers and snow-capped peaks. Equally amazing was the weather in Alesund -- chilly, but bright and sunny. The Clarion Hotel where we stayed
looked out on a channel that was home for a host of yachts. Not far away was the Alesund shopping center and the dock where we left on Saturday morning on a Hurtigruten cruise ship for the journey up the fjord to Geiranger, and the Geiranger Fjord which is so spectacular that it was named a U.N. World Heritage Site. The waterfalls pictured below are just one example of how amazing both sides of the channel were.
On arrival in Geiranger we decided to set out on foot to reach the Grande Fjord Hotel -- a distance of 2 km.
We definitely are not suffering in this hotel. Note the view in the photo below. We will be here for two nights and have a full day, Sunday, to explore the area. However, the forecast is not encouraging (rain & drizzle), but we're hopeful that the weather will be decent enough to ride on the Hop-on-Hope-off Bus and take a hike as well. - rw

Wow, certainly does look spectacular. Did you make it to the top of Mount Dalsnibba? Even if not, hope you enjoyed Fathers Day Sunday, Dad!
Sorry, Mark, I didn't make it to the top. But, a great Father's Day anyway ...
