You really should have got to the viewpoint at the top. You could have taken a taxi to the top and walked back or they would wait and then take you back, not much, by Norwegian standards. Maybe next time ay?
Thanks for your comment! Yes, that's a great suggestion- an alternative way! I imagine one gets to see a whole new perspective of the mountains in the taxi too! This video is made also for cruise passengers who may have mobility issues and want to do this but can't. I was trying to record the experience and views so I can share this with them. :) As in life, there are more than one way to scale a mountain! Walking up and speaking to the local Norwegians (and some intrepid fellow Iona cruise climbers- I was surprised they are dressed for walking and in running gear!!) was very interesting and makes for some memorable holiday experience too! and also some much needed activity to burn off food calories from the ship! but of course, the taxi will save the knees- but no damage done. :)
