Norwegian Woods Roadtrip Report

The online map said the trip was 14 hrs by car. We made it to Trondheim in 10. What was the reward of driving all this time in a Hyundai Accent with no stereo(courtesy of Stockholm druggies)? A relatively well preserved Gothic Cathedral from 1160 CE.

I can't even begin to describe the surprise of driving through Trondheim and suddenly out pops something you would only expect to run into in certain southerly European states. Then we were walking through the oldest church in Scandinavia and only piece left of that era.

We also visited Röros which is a UNESCO sight. I would have to say here that although we didn't see the giant mountains we were looking for, we did see amazing beauty in the two cities we visited and on the road between the two. Otherwise here is how to sum up Norway: Expensive, Expensive, Beautiful.
