We had a midday arrival today, and the town was overrun with 3 other cruise ships. Luckily our shore excursion was elsewhere….the misty fjords no less.

Our boat took us along conifer clad shores, with bays and islands similarly clad. Despite valiant attempts to find wildlife, nothing….after an hour of this I was beginning to think we’d picked the wrong tour.

New Eddystone Island marked the entrance to a change in scenery, as the shores closed in and mountains loomed ahead.

Then around a corner this majestic granite wall towered over us ! Just spectacular, with conifers clinging on and ribbon waterfalls.

We cruised around for 2 hours, trying to take it all in !

Then it was time to turn around and head back, a different way but just as spectacular. The tour included a local native artist, who gave a rambling, but informative view of his tribe, nation and society. So all in all a worthwhile trip after all. I just wish I’d bought all the camera gear, but the Leica V Lux doesn’t do to bad a job 👍 A day at sea tomorrow.
