Ålesund

Ålesund was drizzily and damp...but charming nonetheless.





We took an excursion out to the islands of Giske and Godøy.

This stone church dates to 1150AD


And we visited the famous Alnes Lighthouse


The view from which is spectacular, even through rain.




Dude and I climbed all the way up (conquering my fear of open heights for a while)


We visited the Mt. Aksla viewpoint to see a panorama of Älesund








AFter lunch, we went back out to explore...





Saw some divers heading out for their explorations...


Remember Vesterålen from the Honningvåg thread? Here she is, docked...
