Fjøløy

Our drive from Farsund to Stavanger began very wet, but dried out a little as we headed north. By the end of the day it was wonderful.

There are several islands in the bay north of Stavanger, connected by an undersea tunnel that comes up for air on each island. Our original destination fell through at the last minute, but our host found us another place on a nearby island, which worked out great. The official season hadn't quite started so we had it to ourselves. And we were right on the water.

The hotel was on Mosterøy, but right on the small channel that separates it Klosterøy. We had already eaten dinner much earlier, at a very nice beach cafe south of Stavanger in Ølberg, so after we found our room, we drove out to the lighthouse and the fort on Fjøløy (by the second day in Norway, M had shown me how to access the alternate character set on my iPhone).
