• Day 3 Stravanger, Norway

    September 16, 2025 in Norway ⋅ 🌧 55 °F

    We woke up at 6am and watched us slowly arrive into Stavanger. Glenn and I ate breakfast in the main dining room.

    We finally met our concierge Raymond. He helped us get off of NCL Star in a timely manner.

    We walked through the streets, past the cathedral and on to the bus/train station. We met a couple off the ship as they were walking by.

    We were picked up by Arnstein. He and his family are a “candle in the window” couple that agreed to pick us up and show off their country and we would treat them for dinner.

    Arnstein gave us a gran tour of the area. Then we drove to their home and had a delicious lunch with his wife Lívia. After having a great conversation, Arnstein took us around some more areas, seeing the coast line, farm lands and huge rocks.

    Later on me met up with Livia and their 2 children at a local restaurant/hotel. We had a typical Norwegian meal. Delicious.

    It was a great day meeting new friends and enjoying the Norwegians life style. We paid for the dinner then we gave Arnstein some money to mail the 5 postcards and use the rest for gasoline.

    I’m so thankful for “ACandleInTheWindow” folks. We have met countless new friends that showed hospitality through this App.
