Everytime I visit Stavanger, I’m surprised by how pretty and how clean it is. White woodframe houses, seemingly freshly painted; shiny black or red roof tiles that glint in the sunlight. The city centre nestles down by the harbour, surrounded by stony grey mountains.
Old Stavanger is charming with its narrow cobbled streets, black cast iron streetlamps, and tiny white cottages with pots of flowers.
This last week, Stavanger has been bathed in sunshine and blue skies. I went expecting to arrive in a second winter, and started wishing I’d packed some summer shorts instead!
