Flew to southern Norway to the coastal towns of Kristiansand and Arendal for a seminar.  I understood the weather was not as good just a few days back but luckily cleared up in time for our trip.  We managed to get some time to enjoy the great summer weather by the sea.

Arendal and Kristiansand are well known as a summer holiday place in Norway. Beautiful coastal towns and the sea dotted with numerous islands – big and small. 

The seminar was of course excellent, coupled with making new acquaintances. Even more enjoyable though was a boat trip to Merdø – an island just off Arendal. The boat we were on was a restored 1911 fishing trawler.

Summer won’t be summer without a grill party and a seafood party – both of which we were treated to during our stay. 

I cannot get enough of the beach and the boats so I stayed an extra day to enjoy some more of the sun.

Managed to work a nice tan but I now have large big marks around my eyes due to my sunglasses.
