1/IN NATURE’S CLEAVAGE
Romantic Fjordland cruise Aurlandsfjord, Norway
NATURE couldn’t have etched a prettier, more stunning threedimensional screen than this! As the gentle cruiser caresses the still Fjord waters in slow-mo from Gudvangen, twosomes hold each other warm as the autumn chill works up dormant passions. Pencil thin waterfalls, wisps of time-stilled cloud formations, luminant green slopes and ledge-lodged tiny hamlets engage your glances.
The palate and heart warming clove and almond flavours of a vintage Castello Di Bossi Chianti Classico from Italy aptly elevates the pristine moments.
The faintly echoing sounds of the slim cascades and birds are melody to the senses as silence is coloured with the assured, warmth of each other in arms. Stillness is personified, except for a lone figure or two over the slopes, the snow tinged peaks tower over the scenery with dismissive aplomb as colours unfold with unpredictable crispness across the fjordscapes.
Green soothes in myriad tones, picture postcard sights of miniature villages and colourful high-altitude farm cottages offering a tapestry of shifting patterns.
The cruiser’s front seat offers commanding spans of the Aurlandsfjord countryside, the specially handpicked French B&G Cotes Du Rhone ‘Les Gallets’ lending cinnamon, nutmeg and cigar box flavours uplifting the sights and sounds intimacy. Hmm…. nothing else matters.
On land at Flam, a merry sunshine walk among wild meadow flowers and country paths lined with moist turf instill a deep closeness in the captivating bosom of the magnificent fjords.
