Did you know?

Skjolden has stories most visitors walk straight past.

  • 1

    Skjolden is the reductio of the whole thesis. Two places to eat. One is a hotel; the other has a kitchen that opens at 17:00, confirmed by a reviewer who notes "kitchen is opened from 18 pm" and reports a one-hour wait. Another reviewer praises the buns and coffee, which is what's actually available during a port call. A port with two options, one of which isn't cooking, is a port where being right matters enormously and where every competitor is thin because there is almost nothing to scrape.
