Trondheim, Norway

Well, it seems I have forgotten all my formating tricks, but so be it. This is the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. It is quite old and was once one of the 4 holiest sites in Europe. Most of it was destroyed during the reformation and rebuilt during the late 19th century. Still, it was magnificent.








This, believe it or not was a 'tram' for bicycles. It was an exceptionally steep hill. At the bottom a rider puts his foot onto a moving foot holder and then takes a ride up the hill (not for free, of course). First of its kind.















Trondheim is on the water in Western Norway - far inland and quite picturesque (as are most places in Norway are).
















OK - it was a first for us, but we missed our flight out of Trondheim to Oslo. Now we both check the ticket to confirm the time of departure. As a result we had to stay an extra night in Trondheim and this is the hotel we stayed at. Hell in Norwegian refers means luck, but we weren't feeling lucky.
