Yay the sun is shining and the showers are good!
We set off to explore Fredrikstad, walking along the river. First stop a lovely coffee shop - coffee & pastry (a lot of food was consumed today!). We saw churches, old buildings and some very weird sculptures, then we caught the little free ferry across the river into the 'old town'.
There was some kind of festival going on, so it was very busy but we were impressed to see lots of activities for children. Also glad to see the church open with free refreshments, and a garden full of fun things for families. Tag line on church poster "Room for you".
We had a lovely smorgasbord lunch in a pub, walked and sat in the sun. We enjoyed the humorous signs in one shop - especially as they were all in English!
Back on 'our' side of the river (after a long wait for the ferry) we decided to have an early wedding anniversary meal as who knows where we will be on Monday! Found a nice buffet at Fauna restaurant sitting outside by the river - much pleasanter that last night! Then home to our campsite, which also looked nicer than last night in the rain!
