The Aak Hotel is about three English miles from
Veblungsnaes, the port of the Romsdal. The hotel
keeper provides carrioles for this short stage, and
early on Monday morning, August 17th, we
embarked from this port, which has grown into a
small town, resembling Hammerfest. Judging by
the debris and odours of the beach and landing
place, a good deal of sea fishing must be done
hereabouts.
The scenery of the Romsdalsfjord is very fine,
especially the panorama of mountains opposite
Molde, at which town we land and make some
exploration. It resembles Christiania in general
