Badass Giant Viking Swords Rammed Into Rocks on the Fjord

Today we rode a local bus to see some badass Viking Sword Art. True, it isn't as badass as the Viking you see here so temper your expectations. 

Just kidding!  This is way more badass!  Sverd i fjell is a 32 foot bronze "statue" depicting 3 Viking Swords rammed into the rock of a hill next to the fjord. 

Copied straight from Wikipedia (don't worry, I just donated to them). 

"They commemorate the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord which took place there in the year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown."

There was a cool trail along the fjord that we walked after viewing the statue. 

Donna dug around in some seaweed and found a Sea Potato, a species of Sea Urchin. 

We saw some Eurasian Oyster Catchers. I feel this name is a little hyperbolic. Catching the oysters isn't the hardest part of eating them. They should be called Oyster Pickeruppers. 

We saw this art, whatever it is. I can't find it on Wikipedia. 

Its always a good time for a selfie!

After our walk we took a different bus back and then walked around the downtown area. 

More Viking art on the bus ride back. 

Scavanger is known for its street art. 

This morning a cruise ship pulled in and dumped 4000+ passengers into our (yes we have only been here 2 days and it's ours now) little downtown. 

This is the view from our room before the ship came in. 

Here is our view now. 

The Britannia is HUGE!  Check this out!

It's literally taller than all of the buildings around it and it's right alongside the old part of town. It's impressive to say the least. 

Now we are chilling in our room watching YouTube videos about The Cruise Ship Britannia while we wait for dinner to start.
