Able to see dry land

A pleasant Thursday in Molde, Norway a city of about 25000 on the west coast , about 15C and overcast. No big plans today just wander and enjoy. Molde is known as the City of Jazz and Roses , pictures of the latter below.

Before I begin I should comment on the price of gasoline and other things. Gasoline sells for a mere 15.05 Norwegian Kroner (NK) per litre which translates to $2.52 Cdn per liter. Cheaper in Iceland and yet Norway has very productive oil and gas fields off shore! And lunch!! I had a chicken club sandwich with fries for 152 NK - only about $26 Cdn. You'll see me below enjoying a delicious Norwegian draft beer called Dahl with new friend Barbara from Toronto. I liked this beer better than the one I had in Iceland.

First up some scenes from around town. The city is set on the side of a hill so many houses higher up have very scenic views. The church is the main one in Molde.





Now some evidence why they call this the City of Roses. The jazz part comes from their annual jazz festival.




And last but not least a photo of a very scenic hotel, Barbara and Randy enjoying their beer , a very friendly and big dog and I can't remember the breed (something Norwegian ) and some colorful houses.


It was amusing to see all the passengers and crew congregating in spots where there was free wi-fi. Of course I too took advantage of this to do some stuff.

Friday will be Geiranger and Randy doing some sea kayaking in the fjord. That should be fun.Then some wandering around town although it's small.
