I'm starting to discover that Europe is kicking America's ass as far as customer service on airplanes goes... Although I just had a short flight from Trondheim to Stavanger, a meal was still provided (I recommended flying SAS)...
Once I arrived at the airport, a little afraid I wouldn't recognize Marte's mom, Elisabeth, since I'd never met her - but I guess the pictures were pretty accurate - we knew each other at once... just glad that I didn't wander around looking like an idiot.
Walking around Trondheim
After dropping off my things, Elisabeth and I went to lunch in an older part of town. We then went on to Nidaros Cathedral (started in 1031 AD), but it was closed for a funeral... will go back tomorrow for the English tour.
Time to Relax... on a Sailboat!
So after a few days of lots of activity in Stavanger, it was so nice to just relax with Elisabeth until Knut got home from work... since the weather wasn't so miserable (they kept apologizing, but seriously, 60 degrees and cloudy still felt great compared to NC's scorching hot summer), they took me on their sailboat. We went around Munkholmen (used to be a prison, like Alkatraz, but is now a monastary)... not much wind. They had actually sailed across the Atlantic to the Carribean - not sure how I would handle 21 days straight without seeing land, but I'd give it a try.
