Day 25:Saturday 7 th June 25 Trondheim

2 hours of  sauna and cold  water dips  this morning -  interesting people to chat to ( a Bitcoin millionaire , 3 young men in their 20's-  gearing up for the Neon festival  later in the day - a lawyer , an oil platform  worker and a real estate student at Trondheim University.)  The young men  were all extremely well groomed and enjoyed talking about English TV they had watched growing up on Norwegian TV, including Midsummer Murders, Heartbeat and Downton Abbey😀

Havet -a floating sauna experience in Trondheim £15 pp - 7 minutes walk from the Bobilparkering aire
Very posh entrance , we think this is a large party sauna (with DJ )
There are 5 cabins to choose from , a deep plunge pool and steps down  into the harbour.We tried them all and swam in the icy waters ( very briefly). Andy had a pint. Staff very friendly .Bar and restaurant.


River into the harbour 


Best coffee in Trondheim can be found at Cafe Le Frere . As all the shops close mid afternoon on Saturday , we made our way back to our favourite haunt ( Den Gode Nabo Pubero) Comfy seats -  wood interior  inside . Too cold for us to sit out.



 We accidentally missed the kuntsmuseum art gallery as I misread the closing time on Saturday ( it was 3 pm 😏) We rested in here until the concert in the cathedral at 7 pm 



Great concert in Nidaros cathedral . Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev performed by St Olaf's orchestra; they  were  extremely talented , created a very full sound, helped by the   acoustics  in this beautiful cathedral.


Farewell Trondheim  Left at 10.20 am Sunday am  heading 2 hours north to a  campsite on the  river Årgårdselva. NB  Just passed the spot where the  container ship ran aground narrowly missing a person's house , the captain having  slept through and missing  Trondheim harbour as a result .
