 Leaving Norway.... what an amazing place.

Christiansand, Norway

 The gem in our ports-of-call ....  Christiansand, Norway
 The once main fortress of the town, it burned in the 1700s.  Was rebuilt a few years back and is now a museum. 

 Cool door window on a little house.
 The main Market Street with the cathedral and town square.




 We've seen churches, cathedrals and basilicas all over Europe, but this one just blew us away with its beautiful Nordic wood work.  They were doing an organ recital so we just sat and absorbed this beautiful spot.

One of the few beaches we saw on the whole trip.
Sadly, we had to leave this wonderful little city...   on to Oslo.

Postcard Perfect Goteborg, Sweden


 Volvo made completely with Lego Bricks


 "Old Town" Goteborg... wonderfully uncrowded.
 Fortress overlooking the city and harbor from the 1600s.  


 a zillion stairs up and down from the fortress
