Hellesylt & Geiranger

We dare you to try to pronounce either town names correctly!

Both towns are tiny & are located deep inside a Fjord. When we arrived in Hellesylt the captain gave an announcement saying that the town folks were always worried about the cliff faces falling off into the fjord causing a tsunami which would then destroy the town. Right after that he said, "So, if you want to go ashore & into town..."

Both towns had huge waterfalls literally flowing through the center of them.

Geiranger was one of our favorite ports during this cruise.
