My Second Nordic Adventure (Norway Day 8) - Trondheim to Åndalsnes


As I mentioned, our plane got delayed, so we arrived at Trondheim late last night. Originally, we planned to have dinner at this amazing place I found called Credo, but obviously did not make it and had to cancel our reservation. But for the foodies out there, there seems to be many good restaurants in Trondheim, so do your research and find one to try!

One thing you might noticed is that we “skipped” day 7, and that’s because we pretty much arrived at Bodø in the morning, so we slept in quite a bit before our evening flight to Trondheim. Nothing much to share!

Okay now, we are in the southern/western part of Norway. (See the map on the left) Starting from Trondheim, we are going on a road trip (again), passing by some of the most amazing fjords in Norway, and arguably in the world, and then to Bergen and Stavanger. The plan is to fly out of Stavanger back to the States.

As usual, this itinerary is a little crazy for most people because we are doing this in 7 days! For those who have more time, I would definitely suggest taking more time to appreciate the fjords along the way!

Before we start heading down to the gorgeous fjords, we spent a little time walking around the city. It was a little rainy (shocking, right?), but not too bad, so we were still able to explore a bit. We walked around the town square, saw the Bakke bru (bridge) and the Nidaros cathedral.

There are so many good coffee shops in the city, so we grabbed some coffee and cinnamon buns (they are just soooo good here in Norway, losing count on how many we have had) for the road before our 6 hours drive down!

The drive down was absolutely breathtaking. We passed by a beautiful bridge, a valley with a million waterfalls, and countless picturesque spots. Although there was a lot of driving, today is our “rest day” because… guess what?! We are doing another awesome hike tomorrow!
