Stavanger; Friday, 19 October, 2012

I checked out of the airport hotel, stuffed with an excellent breakfast, and walked the short distance to the bus stop to pick up the airport coach into town.

Having dropped my bags off at the station I had enough time to wander down to the harbour to pick up the daily sightseeing tour boat up to the Lysefjorden.
