This morning we got up to meetup with my brother and his family. We haven’t seen them for about 4 years so I was looking forward to seeing my nieces who are both teenagers. Our hotel is more of a boutique hotel than a regular one we feel.

Renee did have a moment – when she picked this up which was next to the do not disturb and asked is this so we don’t surprise staff and I pointed out that it was if you had a pet. She paused and went ”oh, I thought it was for us” we both laughed at her moment. It’s not a common door sign but the paws were a clue.

Walking outside we were surprised to see that the quay next to us has been taken over by a cruise ship. It was now a sudden wall of steel.

Meeting up with the family we strolled Old Stavanger

One interesting thing is that there are a trolls outside stores in Stavanger. According to another website they are to ward off poor behavior from children

We took the family to have some bubble tea, visit a book shop and then we had lunch at a burger place in town. As my brother’s family have only been here for a few weeks the city is fairly new to them as well. It’s not a big city though. Tomorrow we’re all going on a small excursion up the fjord. 

Later when we had dinner the wall of steel had gone.
