Norway Oct 13

Life on the boat is getting to be old hat, lots of eating. Up and down the stairs all day. Last night after dinner we had thinly sliced lamb and something like Grappa. The lamb was like Iberico from Italy. The Grappa I had to let go. There is a viewing deck that has a bar and very comfortable seats looking out to sea.

Dinner

I slept better last night until my Mother called at 2:15 am. She was having fun with her friends. I ended up staying awake reading and finishing another book, by Colleen Hoover. Also reading a business book about the All Black Team of New Zealand and other work stuff.

I was struggling with deciding on the kayak trip this morning or not. It was so cold and rain was predicted. So I didn’t. At our longer stop in Trondheim, I decided to walk to the famous cathedral that was built on top of the grave of former Viking, founder of Catholic religion in Norway and King of Norway.

This is a replica but shows Olaf getting called to war, the winning then killed and then coming out of his grave as a Saint
Great Fall day

On the way…

Love this stuff
Significant bridge

The Old Town Bridge (Gamle Bybro) in Trondheim is one of the city’s most picturesque landmarks. It’s often called the Bridge of Happiness (Lykkens Portal) because of its distinctive red wooden gateways. I felt happy not freezing on the water!

I forgot about this island. It was a lookout by the Vikings. Severed heads on spikes warned enemies that the same would happen to them. There was also a monastery on this island but all things Catholic were wiped out with Lutheran reform in 1537. Even the cathedral became Lutheran for 500 years. It is Catholic again.

I stopped at a cute shop. I wanted all the clothing and after I had a glass of wine at a cute place, I went back and bought just one thing!

Not enough life boats, by the way…
My window, zoom in

I called for an uber and he took forever, I was worried that I would be late, but I wasn’t.
