From the harbor we went directly to the Hafrsfjord where the Norwegian national monument is:
"Three Swords in the Rock" is located.
These swords, stuck firmly in the rock, symbolize
Peace, unity and freedom.

This is where Norway was first united into a kingdom by Harald Fairhair in 872.

The city center of Stavanger is a real gem. We drove the route from the Swords in the Stone monument.

Just 6 km from Stavanger we found a nice place to spend the night, right by the fjord. From here we go to see the city.
It is cloudy and windy. According to the weather app it won't rain until 5 p.m.
