There were also some social activities. In Stavanger we had a short briefing about Iddis – the Norwegian Printing Museum and the Norwegian Canning Museum by Inge Eikland, MUST In Norway hiking in the mountains is a must, so the second day we went hiking to Mulen in Dirdal. From the mountain we had a wonderful view over the fjord and Dirdal valley. When we came back to the car park, we went to a beach to do activities like stand-up paddle, fishing, or a short boat trip. Ørnulf Tendeland, from the local Gjesdal Historie-og ættesogelag gave us glimpses of local WW2 history. In the evening there was a barbecue and “17 May games” (typical games Norwegians play in the Norwegian constitution day celebrations).
