... 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 ...

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

... from over 1,000 years ago, among other things. Bodo was heavily bombed in World War II (2/3 of the town's buildings were destroyed) so it has a very post-war feel to it.<br><br>Thanks to the diverted course, we arrived in Stokmarknes, home to the Hurtigruten museum, at around 8pm instead of 1:00 am.

Wäre ja prinzipiell nicht so schlimm gewesen, wenn das Wetter nicht seit dem Wochenende der Meinung wäre schon mal Spätherbst proben zu müssen. Soll heißen, wir haben da bei vielleicht 5° gesessen (mehr als 10 waren ...

... ein paar komische Menschen die bei gefuehlten 8 Grad und Regen ins Wasser springen mussten. Abends gab es dann ein leckeres Barbecue mit norwegischen pølser - Wuerstchen. Und danach sind wir noch Kanufahren gegangen. Ihr seht also ich war so richtig sportlich aktiv - ich verrate nicht dass mir jetzt vor allem die Arme ganz schoen weh tun.

... was so well known and was incredible. Her technique was flawless, but she was drinking wine the entire concert. I was taken aback, but it was a great experience nonetheless. After the concert, we walked back up to the hostel and we all collapsed. We were very tired. So yes, I said Trondheim was a village earlier.
