Arrived in Trondheim!

The view from the "Gamle Bybru"- the old city bridge!
We have arrived! Our apartment is in the building on the right hand side, it's the yellow one just past the middle. It's a huge apartment, 3 bedrooms, a total of 30 chairs (we counted them all!) a big TV and an xbox included. There is other peoples stuff randomly distributed about the place...economics textbooks etc. It's an excellent location, that photo is the classic Trondheim postcard.
Our living room. Note our duty free on the bottom right, we spent way too long choosing and re-purposing a piece of furniture to keep it in.

Went to get supplies from the supermarket and that's a laugh on it's own. Classic Norwegian delights of brown cheese, rotfiske and aquavit all await me- for the moment, we bought loads of fish. My favorite thing was the prawn freezer- you just scoop up as many as you want. Meat is too expensive, but salmon is great value! And potatoes- they're the only vegetable you can't import because it's pretty much the only thing they grow here and they're fiercely protective and proud of them!
The prawns were my favourite until it came time to prepare them...they're covered in eggs and the faff to flavour ratio is way off.

So far so good!

"Farvel" for now!
