ALESUND, NORWAY (MAY 20, 2012)

Another tiny slice of Norway that makes you wonder how folks survive here  I can’t imagine the long, dark, cold winters in these little fishing villages.  We have been incredibly fortunate to have beautiful weather with bright sunny skies well into the midnight hour.  We took a tour around Alesund which seems to be a vacation spot for some people.  We stopped at a little village on a very small beach.  The tour guide told us not to miss the woodcutters home.  Well, all of the bus got on line for the outhouse (literally).  I’d rather die so I went off on my own to find the woodcutters house.  I came upon what I thought was the house and the door was open.  I went inside but lo and behold I found myself inside a family’s vacation cottage!  The lady was cooking in the kitchen and I’m walking all around the house before I discovered her and she discovered me!  I apologized profusely.  She greeted me but escorted me to the door and promptly closed it.  I was terribly embarrassed but an experience to remember.

All-in-all, it was another picturesque fishing community and not much more to say about it so I will just post some photos.
