Cruising to the Norwegian Town of Hellesylt

In late May this year, I boarded the IONA, a new ship under the British cruise company P&O Cruises, which had been in service for three years. Departing from Southampton, the cruise visited four small towns in Norway. Hellesylt was the third town we visited. Surrounded by high mountains, the area boasts numerous spectacular waterfalls and fjord cliffs, and it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The weather in Norway in May is very refreshing, and combined with the breathtaking scenery of this small town and the warm hospitality of the locals, I had a very relaxing afternoon there.
