Today we sailed from Farsund to Kristiansand.
Again it was a motoring day because there was almost no wind. Also the passage of Lindesness was rather unenentfull contrarely to the passage on the first time.
we passed our travel line at Mandal so now we are on "new" waters.
kristiansand is the second largest town in Norway and a rather strange city.
Alle streets in the old part are exactly in a rectangular pattern as on a chessboard.
A king Kristian in the 17th century had it built that way.Its called "Kvadraturen" ,as you can see for obvious reasons.
Part of the old wooden city is still present but most was destroyed in torrendous fires .
It has good guest harbour facilities but the harbour is also the most expensive in norway!
Therefore we only stay one night and then go on to Lillesand.
