Trondheim today. Took ourselves to the art museum first (a Munch and a Vigeland piece were the highlights), then Nideros Cathedral, the Regalia Museum, an archaeological museum, and some time escaping the rain in a craft ale bar. Surprise!
Just leaving now, predicted 4 metre swells tonight so it's going to get rocky aboard. The way we like it. Sea day tomorrow and then we'll be hitting Tromsø.
