Day 14 - Stavanger, Norway and the Lysefjord.

Day 14 has been absolutely unforgettable and amazing. We are in Stavanger, Norway. The fire boat greeted us with a water display as we sailed into the harbour.This morning we took the opportunity to explore the town which is the fourth largest town in Norway. Late this afternoon we took a cruise through the Lysefjord and saw some of the most spectacular scenery that we have ever seen. We both agree that this tour is the best shore excursion that we have ever taken. Cruising along the water and staring up at 2000 foot cliffs above us was awe-inspiring. We stopped along the way at a lovely restaurant where we had coffee and Norwegian waffles. The waffles were delicious – served with jam and cream. We met a very strange Norwegian. He was having a ball with everyone. At the farthest point into the cruise, we stopped at a mountain spring waterfall . The boat staff collected water from the waterfall and shared it with us all.
