My first visit to
Kristiansand and a stellar weather day...we walked along the pier past the
Kilden Performing Arts Center...the Pier offers many restaurants, small boat
traffic and the Fish Market. We continued along the waterfront to the
Christianholm Fortress built in 1672. In keeping with the Oslo flower theme,
thousands of beautiful flowers can be seen all around Kristiansand...next we
left the oceanfront and walked to the Otra River taking in the boats and
beautiful reflections. Our next area of interest was the Posebyen, one of
Northern Europe's largest collections of charming, old, white wooden
houses...making our way to the Kristiansand Cathedral, a Neo-Gothic structure
built in 1884 and one of Kristiansand’s most impressive buildings. From Central
Square we wandered the Markengate pedestrian street shopping and taking in all
that Kristiansand had to offer...we returned to the ship via the harbor front...the
area was bustling with people, a major change from the early morning. It was a
great day in the quaint town of Kristiansand….
