Norge for Xmas

For Christmas this year, me and my brother ( in Goteborg) decided to visit a first cousin in Stavanger, Norway. The couple had just moved to Stavanger a couple of months ago when he changed employer. The trip was planned in a way that we both got to travel together to Stavanger from Goteborg. That way, I d get to see a bit of Goteborg also. The other reason was that the cross country train network to Stavanger was available only from Goteborg and not directly from Uppsala.

I didnt know much about Goteborg before I reached there. The place is much milder, weather wise cos its so close to the coastline. The humidity keeps it damp and relatively warmer. The downside was that the snow never sets there. You get hail more than snow. We decided to go to one of the islands just outside of the Goteborg- Branno. Slightly overcast, the weather was but that didnt stop me from getting my camera out to cover the day.

Once we reached Stavanger-

The family..

We decorate the tree together

As we were told we brought good weather with us, we decided to take a quick walk to the centrum to get the last minute essentials before everything went shut for Christmas

A place where they sold fresh catch off the boat. A lobster is called hummer here. 

Just outside an 'Oil Museum' we see a model of their hole drill bit

Just some pictures

 We then did what men do best- talk no sense and drink beer.











There ll be more of Stavanger to come.
