Day 19: Fri 28 Jul: Fredrikstad
Weather: heavy rain while we were eating breakfast then fine with short periods of sunshine during the day. Had a little sleep in till 6:30 this morning as it's a rest day, yippeeeee! Took our time over breakfast and an extra cuppa. Wendy decided to have a real rest (head cold still persisting) day so Greg wandered off by himself initially but soon bumped into Mick and Kate at the ferry which goes from the city to the Old Town. The Old Town is actually a 17th century Fort from King Fredrik II's days on earth. Great old buildings, bridge, moat, cannon and even some goats and chook breeds from that era. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and wandering; just what the doctor ordered. Dinner was Mexican. View from our room Victoria Hotel breakfast room Park and church opposite our hotel The old wooden houses are lovely Plenty of park art around A nice piece of park art The money tied up in pleasure boats in Scandinavia is staggering A nice oldish cruiser The modern city house...
