Our journey continued north, to the student-town of Trondheim. The weather stayed glorious, which made exploring the compact town centre very enjoyable. We especially liked the riverside merchant houses.
It was also a pleasant surprise to find a glorious cathedral, which brings many visitors and pilgrims to Trondheim.
Aside from wandering in town and revelling in the sunshine, we spent time relaxing in our host's very comfortable apartment, chatting and telling stories.
We were also treated to delicious Norweigan waffles (recipe below), though less famous than those from Belgium they rivalled them, not least because of the brown cheese and jam they are topped with.
The waffles themselves were also works of art, with this particular pattern being just one of many traditional decorative styles. We have had to restrain ourselves from buying an old waffle iron, as they are very heavy.
Recipe - Norweigan Waffles, by Maureen from France
"For 5-6 greedy people
4 eggs
approx. 6 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
300 gr sour cream or vanilla yoghurt
1 L milk (the lighter, the crispier)
flour as needed
Whisk the eggs and sugar, then add the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients finishing with the flour. The batter should be as 'velvety' as pancake batter.
If you're doing this quantity for two, then you will eat a fuck bunch of waffles... and die, not recomended then =(
Bon appétit!"
