We stopped at Maam Cross at Peacockes Hotel where we admired the view from the top of the observation tower and could see evidence of peat harvesting, patronized the gift shop, and got some take away coffees then drove on stopping often to drink in the beauty!
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.
