Sommarøy  is an old  fishing village  in the western part of  Tromsø Municipality  in  Troms  county,  Norway .  It is located about 36 kilometres (22 mi) west of the  city of Tromsø  and is a popular tourist destination due to its white sand beaches and scenery. The village has a population of about 300.

Viking Borre Mounds - Horten

Borre mound cemetery  (Norwegian:  Borrehaugene)   We visited these burial grounds at Horten in Vestfold, Norway on our way back to Kristiansand from the zone conference, about a half hour off the main road home.  It is the largest burial mound site in Northern Europe. Borre National Park is home to the most extensive collection of king’s graves in Scandinavia. It is home to seven large and 21 smaller burial mounds.

They have developed a nice little museum were once there was only the mounds when Dad first served in Norway that give visitors a taste of viking life in that period.  This museum is a smaller scale version of the large one we visited on Lofoten but very nice and we had a personal tour since there were only about 3 families there at the time. A Magnificent loud thunderstorm rolled through as we were touring the grounds bu...
