Exploring Stavanger

Talking to Gemma and Alex last night, and then getting the things we've brought with us distributed properly between bike bags, meant we turned in rather late. Woke to blue skies and a gentle breeze.  We decided to spend today exploring Stavanger and the special offers available to DNT members from their comprehensively stocked shop in an underpass on the way into town.

The P&O cruise liner Orianer was docked by the old wharf in the centre of town, which was very busy with tour groups and visitors. The white wooden buildings looked lovely in the sun. The museums are well worth a visit but we decided to pass up the ferry cruise to Lysefjord on cost grounds. We are staying tonight in a pleasant hut just down the road from the hostel, a bit cheaper  and a bit quieter too.
