First steps in Norway
Activities: We went to visit the Sjolingstad Uldvarefabrik, an old wool spinning factory. The visit was interesting with a very enthusiastic guide who put all the old machines in operation. The children were very interested, while Lucie, only thought about the ice cream promised for the snack
