Trondheim on a Sunday

Today was an early morning to catch a 7.5h train ride north to Trondheim. This trip took us through some valleys, alongside Norway’s largest lake (Lake Mjøsa, with its 362 square km of surface area), through the town of Lillehammer (home of the 1994 Olympic Winter Games), and finally on to Trondheim. Once in Trondheim our guide brought us on a amazing walking tour of the City, covering the main plaza, the courthouse, the Nidaros Cathedral (the northernmost Gothic Cathedral in the world), the university, the Kristiansten Fortress (where in 1718 they successfully defended the City of Trondheim from a large invading Swedish army), and then down to some good eating areas where we were free to find our dinner. Unfortunately the restaurant that we had intended to try was closed (due to it being Sunday), so we found a neat place called CowSea, which served the odd combination of sushi and hamburgers… the burgers were good, the sushi wasn’t the best, but passable. After dinner we returned to the hotel, and are settling in for another travel day tomorrow, off to the Lofoten Islands!Read more
