This quaint little town is a sea port and is noted for its concentration of Art Nouveau architecture. Although sometimes internationally spelled by its older name Aalesund, this spelling is obsolete in Norwegian. However, the local football club Aalesund FK still carries that spelling, having been founded before the official change. The 244 sq mile municipality is the 184th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Ålesund is the 13th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 67,114. As it was in Wales, there are more sheep in Norway than people
We decided that we would wander around on our own today, and as usual, we found something to keep us entertained for a few hours while we were in town.
Just as we were about to reach the summit of the hike, a woman asked us if we hiked all the way up. Perplexed, we said yes. We then asked her how she got there , to which she replied, “I took a taxi.”
We practiced the panoramic technique we learned from Nigel!
We walked back down the same way we came up after taking in the stunning views from Mount Aksia and crossed our fingers that there wouldn’t be any hail or rain this time.
The “locals” were out as evidenced by bare legs!
This little town is as beautiful close up as it was from afar.
We also found the local Asian store!
