kareinaHaving a wonderful time in Trondheim! Got in yesterday morning; took the train from the airport to the city, passing through a station labeled "Hell". Looked like a nice place, I could live there. Our host had the day off of work, so he met us at the train station and brought us back to his place, where we played Who Killed Dr. Lucky before going to a grocery store and purchasing some things to make lunch. What a joy it was to eat my own cooking after four days in Oslo surviving on things we could find in stores that could be eaten without cooking! I even baked a lemon cake. Yum! Then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clovis_t and I explored Trondheim a bit before returning to where we are staying an catching up on internet reading a bit.
Managed to go to sleep early, which was a good thing, since we'd gotten up at 02:30 to catch the 04:00 bus to the airport, and so woke up refreshed and ready to go. Enjoyed the day at NGU, where the c2c meeting was held. Some interesting talks, and a nice walk out to the the fjord during lunch. After the meetingclovis_t, our couch-surfing host, and I went to the home of a friend of mine for dinner. She is the one we met in Stockholm at the music/dance SCA event we went to in December--she happens to also be a geologist and works at NGU. Therefore we skipped the c2c dinner at a restaurant tonight in favor of visiting her. Met her finance for the first time, and enjoyed his company as much as hers. It was a wonderful evening full of good food and good company, and we didn't want to leave.
Tomorrow's plans have changed. We were going to leave on a boat to the town of Florø. However, the boat broke, so the meeting organizers wound up missing many of today's talks to try to come up with Plan B. It being high season it wasn't possible to find another boat (they'd booked this one a year in advance for good reason), but they managed to find a bus that would take the entire group. So instead of needing to be at the dock at 09:30, we need to be at the bus station at 08:30. Therefore I should turn off the computer, do my yoga, and get some sleep. Sure, I can sleep on the bus, but I'd rather look out the window...
