Kristiansund

Since I am off for 5 days in a row I decided to make good use of my time and went to Kristiansund yesterday. First, we tried – without any success- to open a bank account in the morning. At least I didn’t have to walk to the bus stop that way… the bus went for about an hour and half way was the same way we take with the guests to the Atlantic Road. Which makes it even more difficult to understand why someone books a tour for 63 Euro instead of taking the local bus hihi
It was nice to see some other place and stroll around for a day. It took me a while to understand the city since I went completely unprepared and the tourist information is at the other side of town than where the ferry arrives… but after looking at some shops I started the sightseeing tour. Kristiansund exists out of 4 islands whereby one is the newest part with all the shops and a mall. This part is rather modern since it was destroyed during WWII. I walked over to the old part of town with houses from the 18th century and a viewpoint over all islands. From there I took a boat which belongs to the “world’s oldest public transport company in uninterrupted operation”. Hmm… I guess it sounds like they have nothing else to offer and I kind of agree since it was more about the atmosphere than about sights. I skipped the third island since there is only one Art Nouveau Church and went to the fishing island. There is a Klippfiskmuseum I really wanted to see, but of course it only opens next week. However, it was a nice part of town as well since they are repairing the big ships over there and it was nice mixture in the harbor of shiny white expensive sailing boats and lovely wooden boats.
At the end I supported my country-to-live and went shopping at h&m. It’s always the same there… I think I do not need to go in since they are everywhere with the same clothes in strange sizes and at the end I get two t-shirts for almost nothing. And talking about t-shirts: I don’t get why t-shirts out of biological cotton have to have the strangest pictures on it! And why is there only one motif each season?! Anyway, the Norwegian summer sale has just begun! (Fia – jag hoppas att du läser det här!!)

Cross your fingers that I am working more next week!
