Out with the Old. In with the New.
A sad farewell to my old sandals which only cost $32 and lasted for 5 years of amazing adventures throughout the world. Mud, salt water,heat,steep hills, rivers, wind blown dust and dirt, even shopping, and lots and lots of miles of walking. Boo Hoo!!! You served me well. Well. We are most impressed with Stavanger and the trip down was great. Seeing new country and having to catch the ferries. Travel is so easy now with all of us being able to go in one car as Chris and Hege have a new Nissen Qashqai 7 seater. So good to be able to travel together. While there we looked at a lot of sights and and the old town was very nice with the water front. Some shopping was done{isn't it always}. A visit to an Animal farm with a huge play area attached were the girls especially loved the horse riding, flying fox and the hay jumping. A good way to spend 3 to 4 hours walking around the grounds and playing. A very well kept place with heaps to do. A lot of the time was spent at some of Stavangers beautiful beaches. The weather remains very very hot { in the late 20's up to 35c } so swimming was a must. We had the use of Thomas and Anna Lene's house while there which is a lovely house, very peaceful and so nice to have the home comforts. Stavanger is very different from Bergen and
Lilly's 7th Birthday.
Lilly opens parcels with the help of her friends. has a lot of flat land with a huge amount of agriculture. It is one of the main centers for Norway's oil industry. A very pretty area and we enjoyed seeing a different style of Norway. Back home in Bergen we have continued having to spend time at beaches and watering the garden. This period of weather is just fantastic. But. Not for fishing as there is not a lot of water in the rivers. Chris and I have spent only one day fishing but will get in another couple of days before Di and I leave here. I have to increase my out put of blogs as I am getting a bit behind but sometimes have trouble getting the time to do them. Will catch you all in a few days. Pip/Rod
