View from our cabin right now. We're cruising up the Hardangerfjord and will get as far as the Furebergsfossen waterfall before heading back and towards Bergen for tomorrow. The distant mountains are part of the Folgefonna glacier.

Choppy, deep blue water leads to several layers of land beyond one another, parts of rocky and tree-filled areas along this wide fjord. Small houses of a village nestle to the right in the distance. The furthest land under this cold, piercing blue sky is a jagged mountain range with deep masses of snow and ice on its peaks.

This is so *not* me. Sounds awful. But to each their own.

I went on one of Virgin’s party cruise ships alone. Here’s what happened

What started as a quiet solo escape became a whirlwind of fun, unexpected friendships and unforgettable moments.

And, per the CDC, respiratory illnesses are 3-4 times as common as stomach illness on cruise ships.

For #FotoMontag a departing view of the village of Flåm in Norway from last year's visit there. It's one of the prettiest locations in an incredibly pretty part of the world, and it doesn't hurt that it's got an incredible brewery there.

We're several decks high on a ship leaving a low-lying village settled on a triangular patch of nearly flat ground at the base where two mountain ridges split apart from the narrower valley they've carved out of the landscape behind. It's a bright day with a mix of light blue sky and patches of puffy white clouds above. The longer chain of hills and mountains runs from the left across the field of view, overlapped in front by the slope on the right of the nearer, taller, more verdant rocky formations. Sheer faces of dark rock poke out amongst the greenery of trees clinging to any flat surface and growing tall, though tiny and difficult to make out individually from this distance. The ground between the mountains and beside the flat, blue water of the fjord we're on is bright in the sunshine and a lush green with short grass. Houses and other low buildings mostly line the water's edge with roofs of red or grey tiles and walls of white for the most part.
