17th of May

Norway’s national day and quite a contrast to Australian January 26th celebrations. We were treated to Norwegian pride at its finest. The day consisted of three parades in Town, The morning being the young kids, Midday was the school leavers and the end of the day was the sporting groups and companies etc. The national costume the Bunad is seen in the photos below. We were luckily invited to start the day at some friends Marietta and Åsmunds for breakfast then headed into town for the celebrations. It was great to see everyone from the community involved and an amazing number of Norwegian flags.
