Kristiansand


A couple of weeks ago we drove to Kristiansand, a beautiful city on the southeast cost of Norway and about 4 hours away.  In Kristiansand one can jump on a boat and go to Denmark, not too far away.

The first photograph was taken in a city called Arendal, about an hour before Kristiansand.  The building you see is a giantic Lutheran church at the city center.  And if you look closely you can see a 7-11 at the bottom of the church.  Don't see that very often.

Tunnels.  Norway is a land of tunnels.  Actually, it's probably a European thing.  As you can see, rather than building a road to go over a small hill they dig a hole through it.  Very typical.  Many tunnels are 2-3 kilometers long and many of them go under fjords.  They're really kind of neat.  Our apartment sits on top of a tunnel.
