Kristiansand

Kristiansand is a lovely city.We went to the museum which was one of these museums that are a collection of old houses transported to one place and re-erected together.
The farm buildings were the most interesting there.  They  were very, very early Norse and made from huge hewn logs.  The adults slept in the one room (parents and grandparents) and the children slept in the barn. The community even had a building for a sauna.
After the museum, we visited the old church. The middle of this church was made by the vikings, but the 2 ends are newer.
We had a beautiful drive along the coast. Everyone is in holiday, boating hiking cycling swimming camping etc. It looked fantastic.
