Cruise to Norway

[McClef]

Well Henning hopefully some of the pics will show you we had pretty good weather!

The following morning saw us sailing past the outskirts of Stavanger, the Oil Capital of Norway.



In Norway this type of view is fairly flat country!



And this view looks towards the Sentrum (City Centre) with the surrounding mountains. Stavanger if the capital of the County (fylke) of Rogaland.

Hello Trefor, great pictures from Norway. The picture with you and your
mother looks like a shot from a Hollywood movie, you both look wonderful.

Great pictures, a cruise is one of the best holidays you can go on.
I'm heading for a Carribean cruise on 24th of this month and there are 4 formal nights that will allow me to be kilted.

[McClef]

There were only 4 kilted on the formal night despite many Scots being on board so hopefully you won't be the only one on your cruise Jimmy.

The old Toll (Customs) House in Stavanger.



View of the end of the Harbour.



And a view across Breiavatnet - a pleasure to walk all the way around.

The mirror shot is always a bit of a giveaway, isn't it. We can't get away with it when wearing a kilt.

I like the pictures of the architecture. Quite amazing the almost universal use of pan tiles on the older buildings. And quite a few with a cut-away gable end.

This is one picture that intrigued me. Just right of centre, is that a life-boat station? or maybe a training area? There seem to be four different types of life-boat and four different launch methods. Any ideas?

Thanks for posting Trefor.

Regards

Chas
