Residence Trondheim Scandic

As we arrived at Trondheim rail station, we realised that we had not writen down where we were staying whilst here! We lugged our backage around the city seeking out the Information Center in hope of a computer. We were directed to the local Libary which held free computers to use. After a short panic of not being able to find ...

... to the Cape and Kirkenes.<br><br>During the next three days the MS Nordkapp will be stopping at 7 ports each day. The first three will be between 0030 and 0530 so they will be missed. Fortunately, each of the missed ports will be 'revisited' during the waking hours on the return voyage.<br><br>The weather is very pleasant. Very Gulf Streamish. Glaciers in the distance. Excellent for waking about with a sound jacket and light gloves. No need for a touque yet.

... forward to since her Norwegian friend had specifically recommended it), the seas were too rough and the boat continued up the coastline. <br><br> We stopped in Bodo, where we visited a modern cathedral (1956) and the surprisingly interesting Bodo Nordland Museum. This museum contains exhibits of traditional Sami life and a huge collection of ...

... forgotten to write the date of travel on them and now the nice inspector validated the previous (used) day, effectively giving us a free extra day of pass usage! The bus took longer to descend to the fjord but once there benefited from a comprehensive highway system with many tunnels to speed toward the small city. Overall the bus took about the same amount of time as the train. Trondheim. Whenever you mention it to someone who has heard of it before the reaction is something ...

... of Samantha's 4th grade teachers, so I took a picture of the airport sign when we were there. When we got to Trondheim, we were able to walk to our hotel and got a little sleep before waking up at 4 to get ready for our return home. See you all soon...

... ich in einer norwegischen Seminargruppe bin, ist der ganze Unterricht und die Seminare auf norwegisch. Wobei es schon lustig ist, immer wenn ein Seminarleiter fragt, ob wir das ganze in norgweisch machen können, drehen sich alle Köpfe sofort zu mir um. Sehr aufmerksame Mitstudenten. Der nächste Eintrag dürfte dann am 24.02 kommen, mit einem Bericht über Røros - eine Stadt die komplett unter dem UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe steht. Also bis dann liebe Grüße an alle

... Füßen wie möglich zurücklegen. Wir waren zu acht und haben die Strecke auf 6 (!!!) Füßen bewältigt. Die zwei Jungs haben jeder ein Mädel auf den Rücken und eine auf die Arme genommen. Während eine andere und ich auf einem Bein nebenher gehüpft sind. Sehr lustig. An den anderen Stationen mussten wir noch eine Geschichte schreiben und ein Lied singen. Ihr seht also, dank der ISU (international ...

... friendly and gorgeous to look at, and the food is surprisingly unlike what most people may think is different and quite tasty. I liked Norway too, I have met a lot of Norwegians on my travels, and they are by far one of the easier people to get on with and they have a great sense of adventure. I sure look forward to coming back here and to see the country, maybe in Winter. And any of you out there who are interested in doing the hikes in Abisko National Park, drop me a line! :)

... Zeitweise dachte ich, ich bin in Berlin, da gab es nicht so große Unterschiede. War echt gut Mein Fazit bis jetzt: Tolle Stadt, tolle Menschen und es ist um 23 Uhr noch etwas hell. Jupi!!! Wohn uebringens neben dem Lerkendal Stadium (Rosenborg Ballclub, kennt vielleicht einer von euch) und es laeuft gerade ein Spiel. Da muss man glatt mitgroelen, aber leider hoer ich nur was und seh nix. Der Club ist sozusagen das Heiligtum der Trondheimer.

... Norway. It was a challenge packing for this trip: 7 days of cold weather, and we have to carry our junk around on our backs. Needless to say, we are wearing the same outfits over and over again. :o) After meeting at the train station at 7:45 am (yes, I actually woke up in time!), we were on our way. Our first stop was Røros, an old German copper mining town that is approximately a 3 hour train ride from Hamar. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the town now survives through tourism ...
