The journey from Oslo to Trondheim, by train, took six and a half hours. Soon after leaving Oslo, as the train climbed to over 1,000m/3,000ft at points of the journey, there were some lovely snowy scenes with frozen lakes and nice mountain views. This was a pleasant journey by train and being in Komfort Class there was a constant supply of free tea/coffee available - we had our own snacks too! Our hotel in Trondheim, the Quality Hotel Augustin, was in the city centre but a fifteen minute walk from the station. The hotel was a simple, but clean place that also offered a pretty decent breakfast spread too. Filling up at breakfast did mean you could skip lunch too so it helped save a bit of cash as well. We managed to catch the final twenty (or so) laps of the final Formula 1 race of the 2016 season before heading out into Trondheim and a visit to the cinema to see 'Fantastic beasts and where to find them'. Fortunately for us films in Norway are presented in their original language with Norwegian subtitles - we may visit the cinema again during this holiday as it is a decent value option too. After the cinema we had dinner at Tulla Fischer, an Italian restaurant, where for around £50 we had a pizza and a drink each. Norway is not cheap, but as you know that in advance you have to accept it and budget accordingly. That said, nearly £9.00 for a bottle of locally brewed beer is still fairly expensive! On the Monday morning we were greeted with rain and heavy dark grey skies. However much you try to gain enthusiasm it can be quite hard when it is wet. We did our best and plopped the city streets taking in the Nidaros Cathedral (Trondheim was called Nidaros for a time), the old town area and the more modern shopping streets and shopping centres. We did however manage a trip on the Gråkallbanen, an 8.8km long tramway which is the most northerly operating tram system in the world. Trondheim did have a small network of three lines but sadly only one survives today but the ride up into the hilly suburbs was well worth the £4.70 return fare. With our day in Trondheim being a Monday it did mean that the museum' and other attractions were closed so sadly we could not visit the tram museum, the two cathedral museums or Rockheim - the Norwegian museum that charts the history of popular music in Norway from the 1950s to today. Maybe on another visit if we are in the area a Monday will be avoided? Our evening meal was a traditional Norwegian affair at the Baklandet Skydsstation restaurant located in the old town area. Forgoing the pickled herring Christmas buffet we plumped for a baked salmon dish and a reindeer stew with accompanying flat/crispbread. The food was, as expected, pricey for what was served up however the drinks were far more reasonable with beer at only £7.50 for a half litre. With our final sleep in Trondheim the alarm was soon calling out at 0530 so we could be up, showered and breakfasted before catching the train to Bodø. Departing Trondheim at 0738 we would arrive into Bodø at just before 1730 with us crossing the Arctic Circle at some point on this journey.
