KRISTIANSUND!

Ready for landing

Wecome to Kristiansund

Kristy's very tasty bacalao

Relaxing in their living-room

After ten days in Norway, we arrived in Kristiansund, the home of Todd and Kristy.  We were met at the airport by Canadian flags and hockey jerseys, then off we went to Mestergate 33 where we enjoyed a specialty of this area, bacalao.  It is make with dried codfish known as klippfisk in a tomato sauce with potatoes and other vegetables.  Kristy's version is much better than what I had in a restaurant here.

Baby's room is ready and waiting

A museum near the churches which was open on this Sunday.
It consisted of many old buildings where traditional Norsk food
 was being prepared and served today.

Rømmegrøt served with cinnamon, sugar and melted butter.  Yum!

Where the flatbread was being made.  ( Ours tastes better!)

List of foods served with prices (divide by 5 to get Canadian price in $)
waffles, coffee, pop, ice cream, hot dog, lefse
It was a fund raiser so prices are high but 1000 people came and bought
and they were out of polse and potetkake

Accordion music to entertain us

Stopping for doughnuts on our scenic drive home,
in memory of Howard, who loved "smultringer"

The unique curved bridge on the Atlantic Ocean Road

Sunday smorg by the sea at scenic Bud,
a wonderful ending to this very special day.
Tusen takk, Todd og Kristy
