We docked in Alesund and made our way to Kokarsteinen - beautiful views!
Then we went to Gudbrandsjuvet, a river gorge along the Valldola river.
And then to the old bridge by Krikebrua. This bridge was built in 1891 and was built only using rocks - no concrete or steel. Pretty as a postcard!
I loved the moss/grass covered homes that blended in with the surroundings.
And then to Trollstigen! Geirangerfjord can be viewed from Ornevegen (Eagles' Road), most noted for its eleven hairpin turns, an amazing feat of engineering!
Me soaking it all in.....
A short stop in Valldal before making our way back to Alesund.
Perfect weather, dramatic scenery and an overall awesome day!
Verdict: Yes! We loved every minute of our Norwegian fjords cruise, but we all agreed that if we had to pick one favorite day, it would be this one. So if you don't have the time or resources to visit all the fjords.... put this one at the top of your list! We booked a tour through LocalTrips (which can be booked via Viator or TripAdvisor) and they were great! We paid $161 a person for a 7 hour excursion from Alesund which included lunch.
