We stopped in Trondheim for 4 hours this morning. That meant we had to be showered and be at breakfast by 8 am. Breakfast was good. Norwegian pancakes, warm scrambled eggs, sausage etc. We saw the cathedral in Trondheim. It is very beautiful and full of history. Very interesting to hear about the start of Christianity in Norway. My nugget of information for the day: it has only been about 1 month since separation of church and state here in Norway. We were back on the ship by noon for lunch. The ice cream was the best part today! I tried a fish cake, one bite was enough! There was some type of eggrolls. Interesting selection of root vegetables, boiled potatoes with a gravy, pork roast and ham. Of course the standard offerings were there. Muscles, herring of many flavors, poached salmon, fish eggs (no thank you) and shrimp with their heads on. I tried a shrimp the other day, and yes I took the head off and the long tentacles from the legs. I love shrimp but not in their original dress! Mike and I took an afternoon nap. Vacation like this is lovely:-) It has been so relaxing to just sit in the library, because it has internet and watch the absolutely beautiful scenery go by. We have found it quite fun to watch them dock, and undock the ship and unload cargo and reload it. As Mike would say, I can watch people work all day! We hope all is well with family and friends at home.
