We started our second day with tour guide through Nidaros Domkirke (Cathedral) which we managed to get for free (because of some misunderstanding). However, for students the price is 50 NOK, so if we had to pay, we would do that, it’s not that expensive.
Trondheim – arriving & first day.
In my last post about packing for a trip, I didn’t mention where I will go. So here you go, Trondheim, Nidaros, Kaupangen, City of Kings. Located in the North-East of Norway, in Sør-Trøndelag county.
Fridays with Norwegian #13 – Nørront (2).
Before I start – If you haven’t checked my first post about it, here it is: Nørront (1)

Even if your future there isn’t so clear and planned, and the only thing you know is your new flats’ address and where is your university. You’re happy.
But then you start to realize how far everything become. How far everyone is.
Autumn.
Darkest, coldest and sleepless. Autumn has come to Norway really quickly, coloring all the trees by the street you walk to work and university. It become really colorful, but also the autumn depression has come by.
Fridays with Norwegian #11 – tools.
When you start to learn language or you’re in the middle of it, you may want to have some tools. The same thing when it comes to norwegian. So I listed up the “essentials”.
Few hours in Lillehammer.
One of the closest cities to Hamar, so I thought – why not? It takes only 40 minutes from my city, and the tickets on NSB are relatably cheap – around 109,- if you happend to be a student of course. I didn’t plan it, it was totally spontaneous. And you know what? Those are the best trips.
Liv i stuer og tun – horse day in Hamar.
On 17th september there was really nice and family-friendly event in Hamar, Domkirkeodden, and here’s short photo reportage of it. There were horses, ladies with their coffee and cakes, playgrounds for kids, old houses opened for visiting and many other things. Enjoy!
