As I have to go out to get the tyres swapped and to post a parcel I've taken the opportunity to visit Tønsberg again. This time I went for a slightly longer walk from where I park to the Skaperverket café. I walked along the waterfront where a new Gokstad ship is being built.

Before I reached the waterfront I passed the swimming baths. In front of the building is this delightful statue

As I finished taking pictures a woman walked past and said "Hun er så flotte". Flott is a little difficult to translate exactly. It doesn't exactly mean pretty or beautiful, it also has the meaning just right or well done.

Across the road in the grounds of one of Tønsberg kommune 's office buildings there were more statues

As I was taking this picture another woman said something similar about this statue as she walked past.
