Trondheim

Up fairly early to see us wend our way up the Trondheimsfjord, which is less spectacular then the Nordfjord of yesterday. Surrounding land is much flatter but at least the weather is much better, strong sunshine and 17C! Leisurely explore of Norway's third largest city seeing the Nidaros Cathedral

and the Trampe bicycle lift, which is out of action at present due to health and safety changes! When working a cable is in a housing which forms the pavement curb up the hill. Footplates are anchored at 80 feet intervals and are concealed in a housing only emerging when a cyclist pays! You use the lift then by putting your foot on the plate to be gently pushed up the hill. We were looking forward to seeing this but had to use our imagination! Then up to the Kristiansten Fortress for views over the city. A quick look at the main shopping area and then back to the ship for a lazy afternoon by

and in the pool!

We have been told that we pass north into the Arctic Circle at 7am tomorrow, Saturday 11^th June so the next blog will be from the frozen north!
