Our tour today was one I was looking forward to called Jewels of the North - my two brothers (T & T) said we had to see Godafoss waterfall and this was on the list + many people who did this cruise before said this excursion was no miss.
So first stop was....Godafoss waterfall - it's quite large and the scale is something to see. We all enjoyed views from the top before J and S walked the stairs down to see better views up close. C and I didnt brave the slightly slippery looking stairs. After our fill of waterfall views, we had time for a yummy snack before boarding the bus.
Next up was the sulfur hot springs - they were gorgeous but when we got in the area of the hot spring air, the girls didnt like the smell at all! A nice guy from Quebec took this great family photo of us.
Next stop was some amazing rock formations and a walking tour around them. S enjoyed this part more than C but all and all a good stop.
Last stop was at the craters and time for a snack - J was the only one to enjoy his sandwich but the girls and I all loved the desserts. C was getting a bit antsy at this point and I was glad to have brought the iPads for the bus ride back to the ship.
Once onboard, it was a pseudo Marvel day with Captain Marvel, Spiderman and Thor visits. Spiderman taught C to do Spidey hands.
And we also found Captain Minnie!!
Then it was date night!!! We brought the girls to dinner and then dropped them at the Kids Club so we could enjoy Palo, the adults only restaurant. The views were fabulous and the food was just as good. The pasta is always cooked perfectly and the service is exceptional. I really felt like we were in a high end restaurant. This was our 3rd time here so I know what to expect but it's always enjoyable!
We picked the girls up from the Kids Club but C did NOT want to leave - what a change of events from last year when she didnt want to go! It was time for bed though and a fun day ahead!
