Clarion Hotel Grand Olav Trondheim

... booking, we discovered where we had to head. Luckly just after reaching the hostel, the heavens opened and it chucked it down.
We had only booked to stay for one night as we are making our way up to Tromsø. So during the day (right now) we visited the only sights that are here. The Nidaros Cathedral and the old town and ...

... boats, North Sea bound structures, rock formations, diverse architecture and most interesting cloud formations.

As we have been heading north an initial stop on Day 2 was a Torvik. It is a 'fly on the wall' type of place, seemingly out in nowhere but closely tied into the mainland. The Nordkapp or Coastal Express as it is called stopped for 30 minutes, just enough time to leap onto land, check out the local sights, take some photos and climb back ...

Trondheim polozone jest w odleglosci niecalych 500km od Oslo - a z uwagi na predkosc jechalismy tu caly dzien (Oh my God!!!). Po drodze zawitalismy do Lillehammer - skocznia okazala sie niewielka atrakcja przy zjezdzie bobslejem, na ktory zdecydowali sie Bob i Monika B. - szacuneczek. Piekne widoki gorskie po drodze i po 21:00 jestesmy na miejscu. Nocny spacer po Trondheim - urocze, nabrzezne miasteczko. Glowne zwiedzanie przed poludniem w poniedzialek. Poniewaz hostel ...

... was sad but the 10-15 minute walk did warm me back up, in particular my toes. The walk also paralleled the funicular track for a bit and we were lucky to be passed by one of the cars during our walk along this section. The zipline experience had been fun and I look forward to doing other runs in the future. I would've liked to do Åre's additional 4 lower runs, which we walked past on our way down, but tours are only offered for the top and lower 4 independently. We maintained ...

... me having to wake up to my reality back home again and struggling to get back into the swing of it. I know my friends and family will be there to help me with my mini culture shock transition. This video for class is a long project where we are supposed to do video blog updates for our audience. Esse a dear friend of mine, is playing our leading role as a stuck up supermodel who lives a selfish life.

Wenn die deutsche Handball-Nationalmannschaft in Trondheim die Hauptrunde bestreitet, dann muss man da als deutscher Fan hin. Und deshlab war ich da. Am Mittwoch alleine und am Donnerstag mit tatkräftiger und lautstarker Unterstützung von Anne. Am Dienstag das Spiel gegen Island hatten sie ja gewonnen, somit hätte ein Sieg gegen Frankreich den Halbfinaleinzug bedeutet. Aber was soll man sagen - gut gekämpft und ...

Hallöchen, nachdem ihr euch das letzte Mal von dem tollen Winter hier überzeugen konntet gibt es heute eine visuelle Stadtführung. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob ich mich noch an alle Daten erinnere, aber das ist ja auch nicht wirklich so wichtig. Also zuerst die Bilder mit der Erklärung anschauen und dann hier weiterlesen. Denn nach der tollen Stadtführung gab es eine Schnipseljagd. Und die war ziemlich ...

... nations. After a good nights sleep we thought we might upgrade our accomodation. So here I am now, typing this up on the guest computer. I will retire later to the plush bedroom, watch my 40 inch plasma, perhaps later recline in the marble bathtub. Maybe after the complimentary waffles. Amazing what spending any extra 40 bucks a night and looking round at hotels can turn up! WOOHOO! Too bad in can't all be this comfortable... .

Ich bin zurueck von meinem Wochenendtripp und es war einfach genial. Wir sind ca 1 Stunde mit dem Bus gefahren und waren dort in einer Art Jugendherberge. Ein Teil davon war eine alte hytte, so richtig gemuetlich eingerichtet. am ersten Abend sind wir noch zum See runtergelaufen, einige Verrueckte sind sogar baden gegangen. Da war es noch schoen und wir hatten einen fantastischen Sonnenuntergang. Am naechsten Morgen sidn wir vom Geraeusch des Regens geweckt ...

... to check in and I kid you not, I felt like I was in San Francisco. The hills were so steep, it was fantastic. The hostel had an amazing view of Trondheim and we couldn't wait to investigate this new "village." We split up for dinner after we checked in. I had dinner at Peppes Pizza with Nat and Maud (our new Belgian-Norwegian friend) It was quite good and we had fun walking around afterwards. I got to have a little treat afterwards as well. Inger was reading the paper and ...
