... booking, we discovered where we had to head. Luckly just after reaching the hostel, the heavens opened and it chucked it down.<br> 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 ...

... are tastefully decorated in art work and the starkly Nordic designed cabins are quite adequate. The standard cabin seems to be approximately 19' x 8' and has two pulldown beds that measure 78" x 32". Lighting is quite adequate and a combination radio/telephone plays primarily English/American 1960s/70s music with Norge background banter unless one wants to look out the 32" porthole and watch the wonderful scenery drift beyond. Some folk could find the ...

... earlier). Nidaros Cathedral, built from 1070-1300ish, is the highlight of the town now, although there is also an excellent military museum next door as well.<br><br>The rest of the day was spent in the Panorama lounge, watching the scenery go by.<br><br> The next morning we were up early to be on deck as we crossed the Artic Circle. The globe ...

... out a problem. We were freezing from the Ocean wind but it was a perfect end to our adventure in norway. We all peered out into the ocean where Leiv Erikson first departed from to go to America. During my adventures here, it really has been a mind opening experience and at the same time it makes me wish i could stay longer here because there is just so much more to discover in Europe and the world. But it also gets me really excited to be home soon and back in the company of people i love.

We got in at 6:30 but lonely planet said the tourist office (which booked private accom) wasn't due to open until 10. We got a coffee from the café that opened at 7 and watched a couple of Seinfeld episodes on the laptop. We packed a day pack and put our bags in storage for the next couple of days and set off for a walk around the town. Pretty much everything was shut and after about an hour walking around the town we went to the ...

The original plan was to drive the whole way to the Nordkapp with Tim (the northern most point in Europe, and in the Arctic cirle) but did Tim decided that he was alrady cold enough and didnt want to go another 1500 miles north and after some very slow going on the way in the snow we decided not to drive. This worked out well as I didnt have much time until my Russian visa started and Tim wanted to but the car, so Tim got the ...

... was cockroaches, but it is probably too cold for them here. They might have decided to spend the night in my mouth - tasted like that in the morning - could've been the French wine however. So - towels 10 bucks extra, sheets 20 bucks extra, laundary 8 bucks extra, internet 50c a minute (just like Shanghai... WTF MATE?!). At least we got a good feed at a restaurant in town - just 40 bucks a meal and 12.50 for a beer. Damn oil ...

... wir uns erstmal stärken, weil so eine Wikingerprüfung schon echt hungrig macht. Wieder 15 min Fussmarsch, ihr werdet es erraten haben, zu einem dritten See. Auch hier rein ins Wasser. Es haben alle ihren Wikinger-Doktor bestanden. Leider ist noch nicht ganz geklärt, ob der Doktor auch für´s Studium zählt, weswegen ich wohl erstmal brav zur Uni gehen werde ;)))

... that keep the paper chugging along. The finale was the tour of the printing station itself. It was so loud, but so cool! The papers were just flying through the machines, being sorted, cut and stacked. They even had a machine that moved the paper rolls all by itself. It was slightly intimidating to see a machine headed towards you with a roll of paper twice the size of you. Oh geez. After our adventure in Heimdal, we took a city bus into Trondheim. We walked up to our ...
