In the first pic on the left is the oldest house and on the right completely new buildings. Stavanger was a very poor town until Norway started drilling for oil in the 70's. now the town is a city and become cosmopolitan. We walked around old Stavanger before heading through town to the oil museum. On the way we encountered the postman pushing his bright red cart. We stopped and chatted with a gal washing windows. As with most every Norwegians that we have met her English was excellent and she was most willing to talk to us.
Next Al had to find a toilet and near the town square was an automatic one that cost 5 krone. To his frustration it was occupied AND when it was vacated he had to wait several minutes while it was automatically cleaned including washing of the floor! He made it!!!!
