Look at the little house....

Looks even smaller when big cruise ships are here:)

It is our NATIONAL DAY, and most shops have decorated with red, blue and white.

(The colors of our flag.)

Some people dress up in their smartest outfit. But these dresses have to be used inside.

Rain most places in Norway today.

GRATULERER med dagen, også til dere norske i utlandet.

The biggest cruise ship I have seen so far this year, is VENTURA.

It was here yesterday from 07.30 to 18.00. It was a day with a bit of sunshine,- and too much rain.

There is a lot of security around these ships I was told. Also fantastic opportunities to go to different restaurants, shows etc.

British tourists in town.

They were from Yorkshire and Bristol.

Hope you will have sunshine and some nice days here in different places in Norway.

The FACE in the window.

(Actually, it was a pillow.)

A new designer shop opened last week.

(Hillevågsveien 101.)

Easy to spot with the bright red wall!

A view out, - on a sunny day.

We have rain today, and more to come.

The manager Karl Erik Pallesen who here is photographed with one of his staff (name to follow) sounded enthusiastic, and if the people working at the fish marked will continue that way, give good service and advices this will be a popular place.

It is open from 09-21, so when you are in town, test out the food.

Later: Her name is Heidi Bertelsen.
