We are leaving Arendal this afternoon to head for Lyngdal.  We had wonderful weather for the past few days (70+ degrees!) so we have been able to enjoy the outdoors and even managed to get a little sunburned.  Our Arendal hosts gave us a great send off party last night out at Store Torungen Nature Preserve (island where there is a lighthouse).  We had an all you can eat shrimp buffet in the boat house – yum!  All agree that Arendal has felt like a vacation with the warm weather, beautiful views of the water, and relaxed pace.  Thank you Nedenes (Arendal) Rotary Club!!

We head for a cabin at Ljosland today and then to another cabin called Lakkenstova.  We will connect with our hosts in Lyngdal on Tuesdsay.  We may not have internet access until then, so we will fill you in our adventures in a few days!
