Observations - other than Excursions
At Hjørundfjord the ship didn't dock, instead we got small tenders from the side of the ship to the small dock in the village of Urke.
The village is very small, but has a lovely walk up into the hills - which then gives perfect views back down to the dock, and the ship in the fjord.
The weather was perfect for our walk.
Eats
There was a small shop open for drinks.
Walk
There were empty roads and trails around the village.
Hjørundfjord - in one line
Quiet and peaceful.
Happy travels!
