I followed the costal road and found several nice little towns, but Risør was by far the best and well worth a new visit.
……………………
What they write …:
Risør - one of Europes best kept wooden house towns, is an attractive area for both natives and tourist alike, all through the year. Few people that have an interest in Norway as a holiday resort can ignore the charming small wooden town with it’s white painted houses. As summer reaches it’s peak so multiplies the towns population. Which in turn fills the intimate small roads and alleys with people, making the town bustle with life.
Whether you come by car, boat, bus or bike you will find that little extra experience, especially for you. To get the most out of your visit perhaps you should sit fore a while by the water in the harbour eating a bag of freshly cooked shrimps, that have been locally caught a couple of hours earlier of the coast of Risør. Alternatively you can enjoy a glass of cold beer at one of the outdoor restaurants, while the sun does it’s best to give you a tan that will compete with any tan you may get sunbathing of the coast of the Mediterranean.
Skien was BTW the worst I have seen during my trip, but only had to use it for the hotel, which was actually rather nice. The hotel was part of Thon Hotels. If you plan to visit Scandinavia, buy yourself a Skanplus hotel pass for 90 Norwegian Krone and you get a huge discount in every Thon hotel (about 170). And I found all Thon hotels I visited rather OK to very good.
Next, back to Amsterdam
