Sunday morning before 8am the town here is empty.  

That's when it started raining.  

I was informed by a very cold ship photographer on the pier I was the 7th person off.  

Temperature 

AccuWeather says it's raining right now.  

Looks like the port area is industrial.   

We are arriving into Kristiansand

Looks like another shore power capable port.

Day Eleven - Kristiansand, Norway

Sailing away from Stavanger.  
 

We experienced light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, partly cloudy, cloudy and full sunshine in the last 15 minutes.  

World Ocean Day

It’s always awkward running into your ex-wife.   
 

I once met a Norwegian frequent cruiser and then ran into him a number of times before the shutdown.  I haven't seen him since, but I recall he made reference to a Norwegian appertif that's only available in Norway.  

I think this is it.  

Cheers!

Here is an idea of local menu prices

Apparently when Huldra is finished with the men she lured in the mountains they end up in this bar.  

Meanwhile it's a beautiful day in Stavanger!

Just when I think I'm walking in circles I find some new streets.

Don't fall off!

The sun looks like it’s out, but just in case, Konrad’s Stout seemed safer than risking more rain. 

At 10.4% a stout in a wine glass seems appropriate.  
 

At moments like these, warm, dry, I wonder how that 7 hour hike to and from Pulpit Rock that @Hoopster95 is on, is working out.  Hopefully this clearing weather is heading in that direction.

Having visited the watchtower museum this statue makes a lot more sense now.  
 

Not only watching for enemies, the watchmen were the police and fire brigade of the day.  They commanded respect, but I suspect the rod with sharp iron ball on the end contributed to that.  

That's when I encountered Todd the Axe Man

It's (almost) noon.  

Rain has moved through.

Rain moving in.  Good time to visit the watchtower museum.  

30 NOK, 3 USD, 3 EUR

Walk through bakery and coffee shop

Current plan is wander up an appetite then once some of these venues open grab lunch somewhere.  

Darn it.  

Nothing something you see just parked commonly where I'm from.
