30 hours later the mists cleared to the unmistakable shores of Scandinavia. Well, Stavanger, to be precise. On my last visit here, 14 years ago, I was asked ...
Why do you come to visit this dirty old oil town?
"Dirty old oil town"? Hmm. Clealy the enquirer had never visited Ellesmere Port, never savoured the wonders of Widnes, the nuances of Newcastle, the subtleties of Southampton.
But this year we didn't loiter there. We'd done the tourist stuff of Stavanger a decade ago, and we stayed aboard the ferry northbound up the coast to Bergen. More tomorrow... watch this space...
