Happy Halloween from Norway

Time to tour the town we got lost in!  We made oatmeal this morning... since I was unable to confirm my cruise b/c the bank card didn't go through, I had to wait three hours to call the bank and give them permission (which should have been done already).  Well I called them and finally was able to get my ticket.  So it was funny, I warmed up water in a microwave that was hidden above the fridge and required that I stood on a stool!!!!! So high, and I felt so tall climbing it.  We added sugar, cinnamon, and persimmon into our oatmeal.  yum..... so while I was on the phone for 30 minutes, on hold might I add, we hiked up the hills to see the Olympic site.  We get there.  May I say, my call to reserve my cruise was much faster, maybe because they were making money ;).  Anyways we walked around in 2-3 degrees Celsius.  We went to Maihaugen which is a town created by a dentist whose hobby was to collect homes!!!! It was closed so we had to see everything by peaking through window.  It was so cold that half-way through we went to the bathroom and warmed up our hands by running it under hot water.  However, time escaped us and Taz had to catch her train. Of we went to the station, but not before stopping at a coffee shop that had hot chocolate that I could have!  So I waited for my train to Trondheim.  I had to warm up my food in front of the fireplace b/c they wouldn't warm it up in the kitchen.  A nice elderly man came and sat across of me and we started chatting about my travels and said to keep doing it!  He was very pleasant, one of the few that I met in Norway.  He envied Taz and I's adventures and told me to keep at it.  He left and I ate!!!! yum!!! luke warm, dehydrated food (the stuff I saved from last nights dinner).  It started to snow!!!! That is how cold it was. 

So oddly, my ticket did not state which gate to leave from, but I asked and got my train- no window seat but still managed to catch pictures.  The guy I sat next to left after 30 minutes and then I took the window seat and relaxed.  I got to Trondheim and relaxed and my place of stay.
