Alesund

Alesund was destroyed by a catastrophic fire in 1904.  It left 10,000 people and the whole center of the city  was rebuilt in Art Nouveau - plenty of color and decorative details.  It was a charming city and fun to walk around.  This was the only day we had a little rain, otherwise we were blessed with great weather for this time of year.  It wasn't particularly warm, but very manageable.







I climbed the 418 stairs to the top of this hill and this is one of  the views I had...
Greater Alesund is built on a bunch of islands connected by bridges and underwater tunnels.

I loved this statue of the woman sorting  fish to sell.
