We consulted the port schedule before visiting Gerainger and picked a day with no cruise ship docking at the harbour for our visit. The village was still busy. It is, after all, one of the most touristy spots in Norway, but it was acceptable. We didn't have to stand in line for anything. All the viewing points weren't crowded. All good. Would I go to Gerainger again? Probably not. It's a once and done type of experience in my opinion.

Whale-watching in Skjálfandi¹ bay, north-eastern #Iceland, in November.

Over about 2 hours we saw at least 4 individuals, we could tell this by the patterns on the fluke.
They were relaxed, and were feeding around the boat quite happily. No hunting takes place in this area.
The vessel was one of a fleet of 1970s oak fishing boats which have been lovingly restored. One ship has an electric motor for silent sailing.

Last year, we took a week to drive slowly from Berlin along the "Balkan route" via the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia and North Macedonia to my husband's Greek family's house on the Ionian Sea. This picture is from #NoviSad in #Serbia, where, like everywhere else, we met the nicest people and spent a lovely evening. I always think about it now when I hear news about today's remarkable protests there.
