This was another sporadically wet day through the rolling hills descending from the Olympic Mountains. We road along the Hood Canal, crossing the floating bridge you can see in one of the collages. We rode and rode over hills watching the canal off to the side. Until we reached Poulsbo.
We had been well drenched once again and pulled into a Goodyear Store with a U Haul desk. We spoke to the young man at the desk, asking for a local hotel and he sent us to the one his Mom runs, the Poulsbo Inn. The young ladies at the desk were wonderful. They gave us a nice rate, told us of their magnificent breakfast (biscuits with gravy, waffles!!!!!) So we settled in and then headed back down into town for dinner.
We had another great dinner along the canal and went back to our room to do laundry.
As we walked to the motel we passed a B&B The Murphy House B&B. Dave stopped and asked for their rates and despite the absence of people and the VACANCY sign the guy told Dave there were no rooms. When we returned from dinner we noted that most were empty and the VACANCY sign was still there. Sooooooo when in Poulsbo, stay in the Poulsbo Inn and avoid that B&B.
Poulsbo's other feature is that it called little Norway. As we walked into town for dinner they were closing all the stores, so we asked which restaurant had authentic Norwegian food. Her reply: "Are you kidding? No one wants that anymore!"
The next morning as we left we stopped in at the Nordic Maid and sent some stuff home. This is a lovely little town and a great place to go. We were wet and they got us dry and fed.
