ALESUND NORWAY

THE COAST OF NORWAY WITH ITS STEEP AND RUGGED CLIFFS LOCATES HER CITIES DEEP WITHIN THESE PROTECTED SITES. IN VIKING TIMES IT ALLOWED A MEASURE OF SAFETY FROM ATTACKS.

FISHING HAS ALWAYS DRIVEN THE ECONOMY. ITS HISTORY DATES TO 800 AD. IN 1904 FIRES DESTROYED LARGE PARTS OF THE TOWN. IT HAS BEEN REBUILT IN ART NAVEAU STYLE WITH MANY PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY SHOPPING AND WALKING STREETS.

WEATHER IS NORMALLY RAIN AND OVERCAST. (THIS IS NORWAY.) WE WERE BLESSED WITH CLEAR AND SUNNY 29C HIGHS (83F). IT’S A 6 YEAR RECORD.
