Sandmoen Motell & Camping Trondheim

... importance and one of northern Europe's greatest Gothic memorials. It is reasonably drab on the inside (too Lutheran for my tastes) but the outside facade is spectacular. The grounds are great and the Bishop's digs well wrth the stroll. Trondheim has a old fortress which is a nice hike past brightly coloured houses (with stunning doors in blue, yellow and red). It provides for some decent photography and some features worth viewing such as German WW ...

Our first stop this day was Trondheim, Norway's first capital city and a trading post for thousands of years. Apparently the first ever export of American goods to Europe took place here around 1000 AD. After the capital moved to Bergen (1217), Trondheim became Norway's religious center (actually, pilgrims started coming to the shrine of St. Olav 200 ...

... inside to pay for the experience. The rest of our time was killed back in the station, watching the train's departure time become progressively later. While this was annoying it was specially bad for Steve, who was busting for the loo but too stingy to pay for the station toilets, plus we didn't have Swedish money anyway. Half an hour late the train arrived and we were finally able to relax and start heading home. Before Storlien we were informed by the attractive Veolia ...

Hallöchen, auf Wunsch einer einzelnen Person bin ich mal losgezogen, um ein paar neue Bilderchen zu knipsen. Es ist nichts spektakuläres. Mit Frühblühern kann ich leider noch nicht dienen. Anderst als in Deutschland, wird das hier wohl noch eine Weile auf sich warten lassen. Ich dachte ja, das Tauwetter würde noch ein-zwei Tage halten, damit diese Eisschollen mal von den Wegen verschwinden, aber ab Mittwoch ist schon neuer Schneefall angekündigt. Wobei ...

... im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Nachdem wir alle zwei Stunden der Stadtführerin gelauscht hatten, waren wir ziemlich verfroren. Bei knappen Plusgraden und eisigem Wind auch kein Wunder. Also wurden wir alle fein in Gruppen eingeteilt und durften uns dann im 5min-Abstand aufmachen die Stationen zu finden udn lustige Aufgaben zu meistern. Es fing relativ harmlos an: bei Station 1 musste ein ...

... it and the road that has the sign where you cross over the circle. I went for a walk and managed to see 2 Reindeers. From there which was located 80 kms North of Mo i Rana, we drove south to Trondheim, checked out the city, had lunch and drove out of the city back onto the highway. We were now reaching the end of our camping days and soon had to cross back into Sweden. We camped one night outside of Trondheim and the following day we reached Sweden. We crossed back into ...

... Kueche ab, die auch als Gemeinschaftsraeumchen dient. Ganz gemuetlich alles. Irgendwann kam Sindy eine Mitbewohnerin, sehr sehr nett. Haben zusammen Nudeln gekocht und lecker gegessen. War ein schoener Einstieg. Am nächsten Tag, war ich mit Anna verabredet im Department. Vorher hab ich mir erstmal was zum Fruehstuecken gekauft. Anna hat mir die Anlage gezeigt, an der ich arbeiten werden und alles so drum herum. Ein paar Kollegen ...

... the hospital and the University of Tronheim. Now, at our meeting at city hall, we were told that for the population in Trondheim, one out of every six people are students. Crazy huh? Trondheim is quite large too. The university was gorgeous and so big! The bike racks surrounded almost all of the buildings. So then after this, we split up again and headed off in search of dinner. Lauren, Marie, Christy and I went out for Kebabs (which are just amazing) and we walked around ...

... is a University Town)and was originally purchased by the students in 1910. Even the new stuff in this town is really old. The weather was sunny and warm on the day we arrived so we were able to dry out all of our backpacking stuff. We stayed in a room that had about 30 beds in it but we both had pretty good sleeps. After Trondheim we headed North to visit my cousin Helen and her Husband Kjell in Verdal. Had to go through Hell to get there though. No ...

... s Mother sitting in her garden. We had the three of them sit just where they did over 40 years ago and reshot the photo. We had a great visit that afternoon but unfortunately all good things end and we had to return to the ship to head for our next port Vik. As we were leaving port we passed Munkholmen or Monk's Island which looks like a ...
