Trondheim, Norway

I hadn't planned on stopping in Trondheim, but because the sleeper trains are so expensive in Norway I thought I might as well stop for a couple of nights here, before continuing north. Wow, what another great decision. This town is great.

Yesterday (Tuesday, 4 July) after arriving in Trondheim and heading straight for the library to use the internet, I went to one hostel that is recommended in my guide book (Trondheim InterRail Center). Unfortunately it is only a summer hostel and didn't open until the next day. So I walked a good ways with my heavy pack, tired legs, and dirty body to the other hostel in town (Trondheim HI Hostel). It is the most expensive hostel yet and probably the most bland. It was hard to fork over the cash for a bed there. My dorm room was empty and I didn't speak to a single person there other then the receptionist. But I got my shower and did my laundry which were both a high priority.

Today (Wednesday, 5 July) I'm going back over to the other hostel which will hopefully have some atmosphere, but I wanted to stop in the library first and update my blog first as it was too early to check into the hostel yet. Now I'm off to dump this pack and see some of the city. Its so peaceful here I'll likely stay another day before moving on. The weather is perfect again, which makes all the difference.
