From Oslo to Trondheim

We are still on the tourist part of this trip, making our way up to the very north of Norway. Yesterday was wet in Oslo, not just wet, torrential. Fine in museums but got drenched going between them. Spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening with Anne, who we had met on our previous trip. She now lives in wonderfully quirky flat in an old part of Oslo. For those of you who felt we were whimpish taking bikes on the bus back to the campsite, we did cycle of the hill twice and it wasn't as bad as we thought.

Up at 5.15 this morning to get an early train to Trondheim. The journey took most of the day and went over a mountain pass at over 1000 metres.  We were surrounded by snow on the mountains and bleak boggy moorland, which reminded Tom of Rannoch Moor in Scotland.  I wondered if I had enough warm clothes for this journey.  Then down to the valley on the other side, sunshine, pleasant green valleys and as we drew into Trondheim, people sunbathing in a park.  It was hot. As hot as Oslo on our first day.

No capsite here, so we are in a hotel with working wifi and a working shower.  We paid for both in the campsite but wifi didn't work at all and the showersmade their own choice whether to give you hot or cold water.
