We woke up to another absolutely beautiful day cruising up a fjord called Listajorden and had breakfast while the ship anchored near Kirkehamn on the island of Hidra. We chose between a kayaking tour of the islands, a hike to Hogasen, or a bus ride to a walking tour of a Flekkefjord. On the walking tour we saw the historic parts of the old town known as Hollenderbyen. The kayakers had local guides to show them around the island. After kayaking they went to the historical Hidra Church. Then a presentation at Isbua Restaurant where they enjoyed coffee and cakes. The hikers enjoyed a steep hike up to the top of Hogasen where they could enjoy a fantastic view of Hidra and the National Geographic Orion. After the ship set sail again we explored a few spectacular fjords and Lucho (our expedition leader) was feeling a bit thirsty. So Captain Martin Graser gave him a drink by sticking the bow of the National Geographic Orion into a waterfall.
