Fjord Day
Day 12, August 29
This was the long-awaited fjord day! André, our bus driver, showed off his driving skills as he navigated Route 55 through the Jotunheimen Mountains with its narrow switchbacks and hairpin turns while his passengers relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. After crossing Norway's highest pass at 4,600 feet, we descended toward the fjords, getting our first glimpse at Skjolden, a village where we stopped for a picnic lunch. |

Sognfjord Cruise
We boarded a ferry at Lustrafjord to cruise part of the Sognefjord to Gudvangen. This is part of the Norway in a Nutshell tour that we took the day our Rick Steves tour ended. Although we saw some of the same scenery, it was worth repeating and we saw other sites we had not seen.
