Day trip to Drøbak, Moss and Tønsberg

Two friends and I took an enjoyable day trip to some towns south of Oslo along the fjord on Sunday 2 November. We first went to Drøbak, which is known for its Christmas store and the world's only lutefisk museum. Going to the lutefisk museum has got me excited now for the lutefisk season quickly approaching. I'll keep you posted on my future lutefisk experiences.

There were quite a few of these jellyfish in the water around the harbor

Looks delicious, right?

Our second stop was in the town of Moss. We visited an industry musuem that highlighted the milling industry in the town, among other exhibitions. From Moss we took a ferry that crossed the Oslo Fjord to the town of Horten.

As mentioned above, the museum mainly highlighted the milling industry. This slide was used for sending the large sacs of flour down from the 2nd floor.

Now its for museum goers

And again...

Ferry from Moss to Horten

A short ride took us from Horten to our final destination, the town of Tønsberg. Tønsberg is reportedly the oldest town in Norway, founded in the 9th Century AD.
