Kristiansund, Norway - 22 July 2015

Docked here at 11 am - such a very beautiful city.  We don't leave until 7pm so a bit of time to walk around the town after our tour which was for just over 3 hours.  We drove through very picturesque towns and farming areas to the Atlantic Road which was build about 19 years ago.  Kristiansund is made up of many islands and there is now a tunnel connecting two of them - 5 miles long and at a depth of 250 metres.  Also visited a beautiful 700 year old Stave Church.  Some locals have preserved  it and a new church was built next door.  Otherwise it would have been demolished and used for firewood!  
Found a place with wifi in the town- all the boat boys are here, excited to be talking/texting to their homelands.  
Not much other news yet.  The day is still young, though!!!  Here are some pics from today.
