 Looking out from our balcony around 7:00 AM, having just come through a series of fjords earlier this morning, we were close to land, though not yet close to Trondheim, since we weren't scheduled to arrive until 9:00. We still had some sailing to do. |
|
 By 8:15, Trondheim was in sight. It looked pretty interesting from afar. "Velkommen til Trondheim!" |
|
 And once again, before we got off the ship to explore Trondheim on our own, I had my lox, red onion, and tomato on a roll sandwich, with some smoked fish and a little scrambled egg for breakfast. |
|
 As we prepared to exit the ship, the weather looked promising, but... |
|
 ...by the time we got down on the pier, a light rain was falling. Good thing we had our new jackets! |
|
 Oops, Mei-O had forgotten something on the ship, so she went back to get it while I waited in a little shelter the cruise line had set up. It was open, and I was getting rained on. But it was light, and by the time Mei-O got back, it had pretty much slowed down, allowing us to begin our exploration of the city in a light rain. |

 After dropping our wet coats and backpacks off in our rooms and getting freshened up a bit, we headed upstairs to the buffet for some lunch. It was around 3:00, and we were all hungry! We had seen tonight's formal dinner menu, and it looked good, so we planned to first go to the 8:00 show, then have a late dinner in the Estrella Dining Room, so we'd eat light now. |
|
 Back in our room about 4:00, I watched as we sailed away from Trondheim...while Mei-O conked out! We had done a lot of walking today. Next Top |
