The hotel is run by owner Mrs. Fleischer.

"It's so nervous."

For years, her friends have been trying to convince her to undertake a tandem parachute jump. And now, at the ripe old age of 65, she has finally agreed to take the plunge. Skydiving isn't for the faint-hearted, But it can be for the young-at-heart.

She has a good jump and lands conveniently, directly in front of her own hotel.

"I want to do it again."

"It was good. You did a great job,ma'am."

"Grandmother has survived."

Her first jump is a big event in Voss and a reason for all her friends to 1 with champagne.

Meanwhile, our German couple, C. and L. decide to take on one of the most spectacular boat trips in Norway. They are on their way to see the Geirangerfjord. (Hello.) First stop on the boat is the captin's deck and a special look at what goes on behind the scenes.
