Molde

Molde is another beautiful little Norwegian town, it's dubbed the town of the roses, as it's mild climate has been perfect for growing those beautiful flowers.
The town was once a trading post for timber and herring, but that was over a hundred years ago, and nowadays it is a favourite port of cruise ships, whose passengers come for the wonderful nordic scenery.
During WWII Molde served as Norway's makeshift capital, and a refuge for the king and a hiding place for the country's gold reserve.
The town is also home to one of Norway's top football teams FC Molde, managed by ex Manchester United star, Ole Gunnar Solsjar, (the spelling is probably way off, but I'm sure you know who I mean).
Btw Maz informed me that they are also this year's Norwegian division one champions.
The Molde stadium is in a really beautiful place, being right on the sea front overlooking the fjord, it is only a small stadium, holding probably about 10 or 12 thousand supporters, but looks very modern, and as I said in a beautiful place.Weiterlesen
