R414 23rd Aug. Anyone else going?

[Pellow]

Does any one fancy walking across a Glacier ??
Hi, We will be on the P&O Cruise R414 to Norway in August 2014.

We will dock at Skjolden on the 27th August. We have found the best and most impressive thing to do while we are there. We can go on a Glacier hike, actually set foot on a glacier!! P&O only offer for you to see the Glacier from 2 miles away – not very impressive but these folks (http://www.icetroll.com/boathalfday.) will actually take us by Motorboat to the bottom of the Glacier and then hike across it. The cost of this is only 750 Kr each (around £75 sterling)

P&O offer a trip on a coach for you to see the glacier from 2 miles away, which costs £ 43.

We can get the guides to collect us from the port at Skjolden and drop us back. Please see the website link for what is involved.
They can take 8 people in their mini bus. So there is room for another 6. The cost of a taxi will be around 7,000 Kr (about £700 sterling) more expensive then London. However they will do a mini bus for 3,500 Kr (350 sterling) return trip.

This would work out for all 8 people at 438 Kr (about £ 48 sterling) the total cost of being collected from the ship, taken up the mountain for an hours drive through spectacular scenery, then onto a motor boat across the Glacier lake and then actually hiking up across a Glacier could be yours for around £ 119 per person (1188 Kr). It's a bit more expensive but what an experience eh ?

If you fancy joining us, please post a reply or drop me a pm

Cheers

Don & Jan

Thanks for the offer, but we have already booked an excursion for that day. But if you want to meet up on the ship, let us know, and we can arrange something.
