Our trip today Today was another driving day. We’re trying to make our way to the area of Tessanden, to take a good look at the beautiful Jotunheimen, where Loki reigns. We start with a more-than average breakfast in the Scandic of Trondheim. I had booked this hotel yesterday using a saved coupon “for special occasions” and we believe this was warranted.

I was surprised by this, as I wasn’t sure if she was asking if we had ever seen them, or if we had seen them now… Color me surprised in many hues of green when it turns out she means now, we open the backdoor to the patio and I am speechless.Read more...
