A day on the water

It's been nice to have two nights in the same location. Of course it doesn't hurt that the views are wonderful, the food is great, and the inn is delightful.  The inn has porches running along two sides of the house, an indoor staircase and many outdoor stairs, and all the rooms have both an interior and exterior door.  I can't imagine a better place for a wild game of hide and seek.
The days slow down when you travel at bike speed and slower.  I had a wonderful walk in the woods this morning, enjoying it all except the mosquitoes.  Can you spot the green heron on a log in the water?
We spent the afternoon in kayaks exploring a small bit of the fjord we are on.  The views from the kayak are only in my mind, as I didn't risk taking my phone on the water.  While the cliffs here are not as dramatic as those in Norway, due to slower moving glaciers that rounded things off more, we were impressed to learn that the water is up to 300 meters deep!  The fjord is more than 30 miles long, so we will get other views of it as we continue our ride.
