Not
terribly much to say about Trondheim. I got the feeling most people

I
was sad to leave Lofoten behind but managed to drag myself to the

We
were lucky to get a clear night on my last night in A (also my last night north of the Arctic circle and last chance to catch the real midnight sun), so, after some digesting time (that fish was sooo good), the four

First
i should say - there are not enough superlatives in the world to
