Norway (7)

We disembarked in Trondheim in the dark and I took a picture of what I thought was something floating in the air. By the time we came back to the ship it was lighter and I could see it was just attached to a building.

CLICK.

Crunching of our show grippers.

This was The Kissing Bridge. In our group no one was anywhere impressed. The theory is if you kiss under the bridge you will be together as a couple your entire life.

Work on the cathedral as a memorial to St. Olav started in 1070. It was finished some time around 1300, nearly 150 years after being established as the cathedral of the diocese. The cathedral was badly damaged by fires in 1327 and again in 1531. The nave was destroyed and was not rebuilt until the restoration in early 1900s.

In 1708, the church burned down completely except for the stone walls. It was struck by lightning in 1719, and was again ravaged by fire. Major rebuilding and restoration of the cathedral started in 1869. It was officially completed in 2001.

Norway is into second hand thrift shops. Not so much to save money but to reuse and recycle to benefit the environment.

Here’s the bathroom you can use if you pay for it with a credit card.

A cool statue that looks like a seashell and an ear at the same time.
