Norwegians have really understood the principle of recycling. An old, decommissioned boat like this one just needs to be stripped down, dragged out of the water and planted on solid ground. And voilá, you have a jungle gym for your kindergarten!
It’s just like how kids dump their new toy to play with the box it came in. There’s no need to build fancy swings, see-saws and slides when you have one of these. Ahoy there, me maties!!

From the west, a wall of stone Saints and Prophets will confront you. All sides of the Cathedral are very textured and deserve a long walk around. You’ll see gargoyles and gothic arches, thick wooden doors with rusty floral art and Anglo-Norman/Romanesque bits and pieces ’stuck on’ that intensifies your ground view. However, the outside of Nidaros Cathedral is even more intriguing when you know the history.

The bunad is a traditional Norwegian costume worn by both men and women. It can either come from established rural traditions or have a more modern design inspired by historical patterns and cuts.

That must be your little Lilu in the second photo. How cute she is! How true that is; kids love the box. What a great idea with this old boat. It looks like it would be fun to play in.
