Trondheim south to Kristiansund

After a superb 9-course meal with some excellent wine in the fine dining restaurant last night we slept a little fitfully and awoke to Beverly’s significant birthday as we berthed in Trondheim. A pre-breakfast coach tour of the city and its Cathedral followed. Typically Scandinavian, it was litter-free, with many people on foot and cycling and all looking fit and slim. Beautiful coloured and generally wooden houses with also some tasteful architecture.
The cathedral, called the “Nidaros Cathedral” has been restored over more than a century and is impressive.
More affecting for me, RDG, was seeing the “brutalist” concrete world war 2 submarine bunkers build by the Germans.
Chiffchaffs and Fieldfares were seen in the park areas and many cowslips were in flower. Trees coming into leaf, and snow only present on far inland mountains.
Rejoined Capella for breakfast and to continue south through wider seas and lower scattered islands than we had become used to in the north.
Kristiansund ahead - the home town of the last visitor I spoke to at Doune Castle a few days ago.Leer más
