We arrived in Petersburg last night and are having a day off. Marta and Maciek climbed to the top of Petersburg Mountain - kept them busy for six hours! Nick cycled round the town.Neils and Gunnar would be interested to know that Petersburg was founded by Peter Buschmann in 1897. It is known as Little Norway and Constitution Day is still celebrated during the Little Norway festival in May.There is the historic Sons of Norway hall with the Viking Ship "Valhalla" alongside and the Bojer Wikan Memorial Park for all those that have lost their lives at sea!
