It really was. I have endless pictures of the fjords, mainly from the six-hour steam to Vadheim, but they pretty much all fail to convey how lovely it was. It's all snow-topped steep-edged hills running straight down into the sea, trees balanced precariously on the slopes, but tucked inbetween the headlands like the web of a thumb, there's the little triangular greens that hold the villages. I could just imagine the long-ships pulled up them, you know?
