Kristiansund, Norway

Kristiansund, Norway was our next stop. The weather was fantastic (low 70's). It's difficult to believe that we are getting close to the Arctic Circle!

The town is quite small & was bombed heavily during WWII. (we think that most of the towns we will visit will be this way, too). The Germans occupied this area during the war. There are still some remains of bunkers, lookout towers, etc. from that time.

Cod fishing is big here.

We spent most of the day touring the countryside. Much of the vegetation is similar to what we have in Washington, especially the weeds.
