Awoke in beautiful Aalesund, Norway, a city rebuilt in art nouveau style after a devastating fire in 1904.	No buses would work to get to Alnes on a neighboring island, so I took a shore excursion to see this lighthouse & other sites.	The 4 islands around Aalesund are connected by tunnels (here's entrance to one) and an occasional bridge.	A view of the islands, taken from Giske or Godoya (forget which)
Alnes lighthouse, on the island of Godoya. I also saw Hogsteinen lighthouse from the bus.	Camping bods on the island of Giske	We visited Giske church, with this interesting altar.	Then, it was back to Aalsund to see a highpoint (literally & figuratively) - the view from Mt. Aksla of the city below.
