Northern Splendours Pt II

I am so worn out from only four days at the office that you have to look at the next lot of my pictures without too much drivel from me (yay! I can hear you shout....)

** click on any of the picture to enlarge their view **

So, we carried on to {{ Trondheim }} a university city only much prettier than most of the student cities I have come across over the years.

The Nidaros Cathedral

Just to the left of it a super cute old style bridge


Leading to parts of the Old Seaside town


Along some gorgeous Scandinavian houses



Up the hill to the old fortress




Here, once again I had a most fantastic view over the city


And "my" ship had once more difficulties hiding


Shortly before I made the walk back down into town I noticed that Norwegian Television was actually filming a childrens programme inside the fortress. Of course I had to stop and take a picture of this totally cute dragon (and the guy inside the dragon was even cuter...but, shhhhhhhhhh)

The view of leaving Trondheim at any place on deck was just awesome...and it went on for hours like this


Once again, it is my feeties to wave this post goodbye and get a well-earned rest before we hit onto the {{ Lofoten Islands }}
