When we travel we often use Geocaching as a way to stretch our legs and to give our heads and tails a break from the rigors of the road. This time we don’t have that option. We found both the caches at this rest area when we drove this route last September. Instead we struck up a conversation with a delightful couple and learned of an area in Maine to visit as well as a couple of books to read.
Our walking tour through the historic heart of Stavanger gave us insight into the canning and maritime industries that fueled this community as well as some tasty tidbits.
Our short visit to Njardarheimr gave us insight into life in 11th Century Norway and educated us on the role of “Vikings” within the Norse community of the time.
Proved to still be a valuable break.
