Lots 2 See

To get to our next destination, Dan, Mel and Curtis drive. Amazing scenery!

Roger and I opt for a cruise on the Geiringer Fjord.

Our guide in Alesund, Synnove, is so informative and super accommodating.

After a major fire in 1905, the buildings in this town were rebuilt in Art Nouveau architecture. The Art Nouveau Center is located in the former Art Nouveau designed building of Swan Pharmacy. For a while, this was the only pharmacy between Bergen and Trondheim.

During the second world war, the Germans occupied Norway. The city has erected a statue to commemorate the people who were part of the resistance (including our guide`s grandmother).

Another striking sculpture is that of a woman washing and salting fish. Because it was considered bad luck to have a woman on a fishing boat, women worked in the factories.

If you would like to spend a night in the lighthouse, you might have to empty your pockets ha!

Dan walked up 400 steps to get the best view of Alesund.

I went up 40 steps to take this picture ha!
