Trondheim Was The Capital of Norway During The Viking Age

The walk into Trondheim's center from the dock wasn't difficult but it was slippery. Thank goodness for our recently purchased Yak Traxs used throughout Winter Norway. If you've never heard of Yak Traxs, they slip on over any kind of shoe and the twisted metal bottoms do the job! We were two, sure-footed tourists on ice in Trondheim.

Heading down Olav Tryggvason's Gate (a main street) made it perfectly clear that a few hours was not going to give enough time to really see Trondheim. Lots of information from the big "I" office on the main square that even told us about Trolls. Did you know that there are two kinds of trolls? Lucky....and evil? Another Norwegian told us later that trolls only turn nasty if you don't treat them right. Hmm...
