Trondheim, Norway

Located 3 hours NW of Oslo this is Norway’s 3rd biggest city and allegedly the tech capital of the country. There is a large university here (30,000 students – note the town is only 150,000) which gives this town a younger feel. If you travel to the outskirts of town you’ll see this is a huge shipping and fishing corridor for Norway. There was snow within the first hour of us landing and a constant battle with the weather during the 2 day stint. Snow, rain and sleet dominated but Mother Nature cooperated for a bit to get some blue skies and sunny pictures in throughout the city. The ride to and from the airport (45km) is beautiful. Large snow capped mountains, fjords and farm land. Looks like good living. It'd be great to see this town when it is alive in warmer weather, but we definitely had a taste for what it could be most of the year...
