Zowie - Alesund is a beautiful city, buildings painted with floral motifs cobblestone streets, hills climbing up from the water as quaint and charming as can be - renowned as an art nouveau city. We wander the streets, exploring the architectural surprises that present themselves.
Next day, Trondheim - the first capitol. Nidaros, the amazing cathedral and burial site of Saint Olav, the home of the viking king Olav Tryggvason - a major place in the trilogy Kristin Lavransdatter - It is an amazing cathedral. The city has a beautiful painted wharf in the old town, delightful bridges - Another fabulous Norwegian city and old viking stronghold.
Weather is fabulous. Aurora Borealis was spotted on previous cruise - we are hopeful! keeping our announcement radio on all night. Just passing a wind farm in the middle of the sea.
