Viking Hotel As Trondheim

... to be a tad spartan in terms of places to lay out comestics or shaving gear. The shower takes some navigation as it is tiny, but extremely functional. The food service is splendid with open buffet in the morning and lunch while dinner is a set menu. Expect to find salmon, cod, herring, various cutfisk, reindeer, surloin, crab and other fine offerings placed before the willing diner. If a passenger accepts "the offer" and pays 209 NOK upfront, the ...

... museum was open until 11pm. It was actually a very interesting history of the Hurtigruten line and the way that it has grown and evolved over the years. It even included a decommissioned boat from the early days when travel was, at the same time, more luxurious and more rough.<br><br>Coming next: Tromso and the most northern point in Europe<br> <br>

... I was onboard one of these trains but it was useful that seat numbers ran through the whole train and did not restart in each carriage. Departure was a few minutes late and it seemed as though this was related to general weather-related delays in the Oslo area. We were soon on the line to the airport, accelerating to 210km/h in the 14.5km tunnel at the start of the line. Then we stopped. It would seem that congestion was ruining our run on Norway's only high-speed line but after ...

... a spa. With the town pretty much closed up for the day we had a rest before going out for a walk around the Leda area. Up along the coast and around. We decided on a movie night and got some ingredients for nachos from the corner store with very few options available to us. We took our time leaving the next morning and spent the day walking around the fish market and various historical areas of town. Had a coffee in the ba ...

... in was visited by a bunch of hoons at 2am doing donuts and revving their engines - grrrrr. We were so tired as well and looking forward to a good sleep. During the day we had done two hikes, the first to a waterfall that you could crouch down underneath a ledge and stand behind the middle of the waterfall, there was an old abandoned farmstead up in the mountains there too. We did another hike out to a lookout, where you could see out ...

... of meetings on a long weekend in July. We pray that that will work out as these scattered people really need to get together every so often. The visits that we have made going from one to another have certainly been helpful, but the next step is for some common gatherings. A Festival site in this area is going to be a big boost to all. After breakfast Nini, Bev and I walked up in darkness to the bus stop about eight minutes away. We would have ...

... Und es gibt den Storsalen (den großen Saal), der wie ein Zirkuszelt gestaltet ist, und wo größere Konzerte stattfinden. Alles in allem sher gut für Parties. Ja, und diesen Abend war alles vollgestopft mit ziemlich jungen, Biertrinkenden und abfeiernden Norwegern - und ein paar ausländischen Studenten. Irgendwann haben wir uns einfach mit auf die Tanzfläche gewagt, sind genauso rumgesprungen wie die Norweger und hatten einen genialen Abend. Ich glaube da war ich nicht das letzte Mal.

... Berg wo ich also jetzt ein Jahr wohnen werde. An dem Abend habe ich mich dann noch ein bisschen häuslich eingerichtet, bevor ich todmüde ins Bett gefallen bin. 2. Tag - Kennenlernen der Sprachkursgruppe!! Und die Erkenntnis, dass norwegischlernen gar nicht so einfach wird, weil man ca 1 Millionen Deutsche neben sich im Kurs sitzen hat und demzufolge fantastisch deutsch reden kann ;)) 3.Tag Peder redet nur norwegisch mit uns - also doch noch Chancen norwegisch zu lernen.

I eventually got into Trondheim. Really cool city, third largest in Norway. Its got a pretty big university that is focused heavily on technical degrees (such as engineering). The city has these free bikes that you can cruise around on if you drop a deposit, so I spent the day cruising around the city on my free bike which was pretty cool. Bikes are such a great way to see a city, covering lots of area in a short period of time ...
