Love this video!  Those things look like fun to drive.  How fast can they go?  And I'd need a very long pole to get some of those over-the-cliff-edge shots.  You won't get me standing near those insubstantial looking fences. 😵‍💫

Twangster looked over at me at one point and said we just hit 80kmh! I figured it was fast as in the back seat my cheeks were flapping around like dog with it’s head out the window!

Maybe I should defer to @Hoopster95 on this question.  🤣

Well…  it’s when you came around the

back of the car with the crowbar you just retrieved from the spare tire area 😳

Nah!!! Wasn’t that bad. I’m 5’11” 195 and was relatively easy.

The Twizy was an amazing experience and we were very fortunate the weather cleared up as much as it did.  This was booked directly with a local tour company.

 

Here is some video from my 360 camera of the Twizy tour and subsequent walk along the river.

 

Geiranger is beautiful with a lot to do and see.

 

 

 

Hey twangster, this an AMAZING video.

I’ve said it many times on this forum and I’ll say it again… you are by far the best photographer/videographer/poster on this forum. Thank you for sharing the car with me. I would be grateful to get a dropbox

link after the cruise (or whatever media you use) so that I can have all these memories.👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome photos twangster. I went to 5pm

trivia whereby I failed miserably even with biker’s help! 

I went to Chops right when they opened… with no lunch I was getting hangry, I worked hard for that 9oz filet! Great dinner tonight, everything was perfect. And I was done and out of there just as we were sailing away. I was out on the helipad for most of it.

Standing right now as I’m posting this.. totally awesome. Now the trek down!!😳

Hey twangster… I didn’t go into the Nordic Center at all. I quickly looked in several rooms and decided that I would spend a total Of 60 seconds in there … a total waste compared to the amazing views and scenery we have today… and the weather!!!!!

I always like a challenge, so I opted for the 2km hike up to the Flydalsjuvet viewpoint, the same one we stopped at twice this morning. It’s a great workout, not viable for the mobile impaired or if not at least a little athletic

Sunset from the elevators

it’s 11:40pm and we still have daylight out here. Very very weird! 

Last post re Frankie and the Dreamers…. #1 top notch entertainment.  Do not miss the show if they’re ever in your sailing.

The dreamer on the far right looked like he might be new.

Correct, he’s new. The 2nd set was better than The first… great energy

Frankie and the Dreamers rocked the house once again! I did not recognize any of the 3 dreamers from last year, however they were great. There was one specifically last year who was an amazing rapper and dancer, so I could tell the show lacked just a wee bit without that ex group member, nonetheless I’m going back for the 10pm show 👍👍

Packed Schooner for 7pm “Pub Style” trivia.

This is my go-to Rum Old Fashioned

Windjammer dinner…

As expected most of the MDR “French Night” offerings were available in the WJ incl. chicken Cordon blu, ratatouille, stuffed red peppers, grilled crusted salmon w/lemon sauce, mixed grilled veggies, etc. The deserts were back to the more boring looking type (ie. gelatinous “blah” that are normal, no Chops deserts tonight) however the awesome crepes made up for that in a big way. 

Another much better than average dinner in the WJ tonight. More applause from me.

Perhaps a helipad bow shot.  Kind of like corralling cats though.  It’s a very big ship after all.  

Titanic style?…. You guys can decide which one will be Jack. I’ll be taking the photo 😈

Tonight is French night, I expect them to make fresh Crepes.

Oooooooh ya baby! 😃

there’s a line already… ask for a little crispy as I’ve seen them take them off the grill too early imo.

What are the chances of Biker, @twangster and @Hoopster95 in Schooner at the same time? 

A historical CC event!! Lol

You guys were in deep conversation. 

We were talking about you so all good 😉

Ok…. Let’s talk Windjammer….

On my plate right now are taster sized Chicken Parm & gnocchi w/spinach & garlic (yes, you can actually taste the garlic).. both of these could easily be served in Giovanni’s. I also have lemongrass rice, lamb Kofta w/excellent tzatziki, tomato & mozza salad, and a spicy beef dish that is actually spicy!

Last night they actually had the real Royal cheesecake and the Red Velvet cake (equal to Chops). 
 

All of the above super good!!! 
I have been critical of RC food for years, but I have to applaud Jewel so far. I think this also adds to my theory that foods sourced in Europe sailings are far superior than the lower quality product sourced in North America.

Looks like my Geiranger afternoon has become free.  

 

Missed you again… unless I walked right passed you as you were trying to wave me

down?? Lol

We still good for the morning? Need to arrange time & place to meet

Do you know how long they will be onboard?  Thank you

Same question.  Do you know how long they will be onboard, or is it only for this cruise?  Thank you

No clue. If I get a chance to say hi to him again I'll ask and report back here

Captain’s Corner at 11, Top Tier at 4

 

Formal night.  

Great morning photos twangster. Gym sauna/steam room morning for me... Maybe I'll find you (you'll find me) at Captain's Corner? How's your hangover?🙃
