To see the fjord, it is always really nice to climb up a nearby mountain. We were told (the boys and I... by Andreas) that we would go on a "little" hike to appreciate the full beauty of the area (no argument here... it IS beautiful). The only thing that came as a bit of a surprise (to Andreas as well) was that the top of the mountain (ie: best view) was like being on a stair master for 4 hours... on intense ;) I think Oliver started complaining as soon as we started ;) and the only thing that kept him going was the small girl who was right after us. As soon as she got close, he miraculously recovered his energy and made a mad dash to get ahead ;)
Anyway, after not really exercising for a few days, I feel like I have made amends ;) The view from the top of the mountain was absolutely beautiful and I am amazed that anyone would have put the energy into building stone steps up a mountain side. There is a statue of the Virgin Mary at the top so I am assuming it was (or still is) a kind of pilgrimage (details here). On the way down, I had to resist the urge to wish good luck to those starting their climb... especially the girl with flip flops... hope you made it! My biggest word of advice: do it... once... and bring lots of water.
The boys earned their Fortnite session back at the hotel ;)
See you all when we get home again! First stop, a "little" walk in Québec City ;) and then Montréal... xox
Beautiful! You derserve a whole bottle ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I thought so too ;)
DeleteJeg lærte noget nyt i dag. Ikke det samme som Andreas, næsten. Var ikke klar over at fjord oversættes til fjord, troede virkelig fjord var et dansk ord ;-)
ReplyDeleteDine billeder beviser igen at alt er meget større "ovre there" - Ringkøbing Fjord, Limfjorden etc. er jo bitte små, det er jo mine "naboer".
We just concentrate all of your fjords into a big one ;) Andreas was happy that he was able to say a word here that all the local French people understood ;) xox
