Our stay at the Thon hotel in Trondheim was the WORST, hands down. First off, we were staying on the 7th floor, but the elevator only went up to the 6th. We had to walk our bags up and down the stairs....second, there was no air conditioning which made it so that we had to sleep with the window open. It would not have been so bad had it not been during the part of the year where the sun rarely goes down. The birds were all confused and so they would squawk in the night....YIKES! The worst had to be this morning though. There was construction going on in the hotel, precisely right below our bed. We were awoken to a loud drill sound. When Aaron called downstairs to complain, the woman merely responded, "In Norway, it is legal to start work at 8:00 AM." And when Aaron told her that we were still trying to sleep at 9:30 and that it was a hotel, she only confirmed, "yes, I know it's a hotel..." We will not be staying there again. For that same price in America, we could get 4 motel 6 rooms for 3 days and have air conditioning.....
We picked up Aaron's grandmother Freda and took a train through the Norweigan countryside for 6 1/2 hours. It made Aaron and myself a little sick, but the scenery was beautiful. I don't take enough trains. It really is a little depressing that the only mode of transportation that I take is the subway. So now we're in Oslo, which Aaron said is THE MOST expensive place ever. I believe it too....our sub par dinner was over $70 US dollars! I am starting to miss that Euro price!
I forgot to add....when we woke up this morning, I noticed a confused fly who kept flying in triangular formations. Aaron found it quite amusing and we named him Trip....I wanted to name him Pip because I like the name and Aaron wanted to name him Tri as in Triangle....so we compromised.....bye Trip!!!!
