Trondheim

During the night we called in at Molde and Kristiansund but now heading for Trondheim expecting to be there for 09:45, we depart again at 12:45, so shall be busy!

The sunrise this morning was as fabulous as any sunset you could get, it was so mild but many people feeling the cold!

Arriving at Trondheim we crossed paths with Hurtigrutens Polarlys on her return journey back to Bergen

The Cathedral (Nidaros Cathedral) here is superb, completed in 1300 and is the traditional location for the consecration of Norwegian Monarchs. Very beautiful and totally worth a visit. On the way you go by the Old Town Bridge (Gamle Bybro) which dates back to 1681, is also known as the Portal of Happiness and said to have witnessed many marriage proposals over the years

The ‘flock’ of birds are common eiders, large sea ducks found along northern coastlines the males (white and black plumage) and females (mottled brown plumage) can be seen in this group, highly social birds, often gathering in large flocks or "rafts" like the picture, especially during winter and migration periods

Heading back to the ship we had lunch followed by soaking in the jacuzzi as we departed TrondheimOkumaya devam et
