Gamle Stavanger

Took the kids to gamle Stavanger this morning ,been whanting to go there since i came to Norway .And it was so pretty and all these beautiful houses and the flowers oh my oh my ....

Gamle Stavanger ('Old Stavanger') is an area of the city of Stavanger in the county of Rogaland, Norway, and is believed to be Europe’s largest collection of wooden buildings^{[unreliable source?]}. The area includes the Norwegian Canning museum which displays a typical factory from the 1920's.

so much fun to walk there in the sun and warm wind

Nearly all the houses are white (only a few are allowed to be another colour) and they vary in age from less than 100 to about 300 years. The houses are lived in and most are privately owned.
There are little play areas, bench seats here and there. In the small park at the southwest corner, near the Straen centre are some sculptures.
This is in central Stavanger. Walk from the fish market around the harbour clockwise taking any of the streets on the left up into Gamle Stavanger.   

 
will for sure go there again and take more pictures

ps anyone have a recipe for rababara saft (rhubarb saft)

I whent to Stavanger yesterday and there was so much going on there ,so many peoble well the weather was so good so no suprise that there where so many peoble there ,but there was something going on there ,tents from all over the world ,Spain ,UK, Italia, Holland and many more and they all where selling and giving peoble a taste of what they where selling .
So much fun to walk around and see what they had to offer .I was so unlucky that my camera was out batteri ,so hubby used his phone to take these picks.

Homemade

I whanted a new table cause the kids had played the other table bit hard (por thing) and i dind whant to spend much money on a new one so i used the palettes we got our stuff from Iceland on (saw this idea on a few bloggs ) so i painted them a bought the weels in Clas Ohlson ,so this table the kids cant ruin and if they would i would just paint over or make a new one .
