We had a barbecue at the Iron Age Farm, a reconstructed farm built on a 3000 year old archeological site.

At the opening ceremony there was a parade of the flags of all 105 countries which were represented at the conference.

Madeleine learned to spin and dye wool during one of the workshops at the Iron Age Farm.
These enormous bronze swords are a monument to the battle of Hafrsfjord in the year 872, when Harald Hårfagre (Fairheaded Harald) united Norway into one kingdom. The swords, which are about 10 meters tall, stand for peace and unification. This site is just outside the gate of the Madla Camp, the army camp where we stayed.
