Touring Haugesund on Foot 8 – Rådhusparken Area


Rådhusplassen (City Hall Square)

Let me begin today by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a wonderful New Year. Now for our visit to Haugesund, Norway: Jewel of the Seas arrived at our next-to-last Norwegian destination on 29 June 2022. Continuing today and running through 29 December I present to you the port city of Haugesund in Western Norway. During this time I’m going to once again get photo-centric on you, as we traveled Haugesund by foot on our own. The title of each Monday and Wednesday article in this series will give you an idea of what area is being presented. The series will run as follows:

Fun Photo Friday —Haugesund Favorites 3


Haugesund Reflections

There’s a saying that money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy you a Ferrari and I’ve never met an unhappy Ferrari owner:

Happiness in Red… Ferrari Red
But if you can’t afford a Ferrari, go green with a flat-tired bicycle
Otherwise, You Yacht to Try Boating
Or Go Birding
A Banner Day in Haugesund

Слава Україні! (Slava Ukraini!)
