STAVANGER, Norway - Wednesday, May 3, 2017

The southern port of Norway, Stavanger is home to one of Europe's most interesting Old Towns. The cobbled streets of Gamle Stavanger, as it is called, are lined with the continent's highest concentration of wooden buildings that date to the 17th and 18th centuries. Close to 250 are here, protected by a conservancy formed in the 1950's after developers threatened to destroy these cultural riches.

 

 

 

Very hilly and rough walking in this old area, but beautiful!

Offshore drilling feeds the economy here, making the city one of the most expensive in the world. We spent the morning touring the Oil Museum, which I found very informative.

 

 

The museum from the outside.

We have lots of photos from the inside ... here are just a few.

 

 

 

Took this for you, Darren!

The ship left the harbour in the early afternoon as we had a long journey ahead of us to Aalborg, Denmark. Enjoyed eating outside!

 

 

Eric came back with Gelato and a candied strawberry for me! One of the few deserts on the trip, but we walked a lot!

Another fine day at a lovely place.

All for now, love to all
