The Mountains above Flam.


We took a trip into the mountains above Flam, we drove to a Hotel where we had a danish pastry,or should that have been a Norwegian pastry?? The view from the garden of the hotel was breathtaking. A look right down the valley, we headed off there after stopping to take some photos. 


Its hard to take in the scale of these mountains,they are massive!


I have come to the conclusion that I am fast becoming the shortest member of the family, in fact only Hunny is shorter than me!!!


Once we came down the hairpin bends from the hotel we caught a ferry back to the ship, its a great way of getting up close and personal with the scenery. Its amazing to think that the people who live on the shore can only get out via the ferry, its very remote.


We were being harassed by another boat who kept over taking us, I really wanted to get the water still so that you could see the reflections, but the other boat kept ruining that!!


Never one to miss a photo opportunity Beth managed to get herself in on this shot while we were waiting to get on the ferry. Very lovely!!!!


At the end of the afternoon we spotted our ship right at the end of the Fjord it is dwarfed by the surrounding mountains.


Just look at how huge the ship is once we got up close to it!!!
