The Atlantic Road, Discovering the Romsdalgondolen, and the Hotel Aak
After a quick breakfast at the Thon Hotel Storgata we headed out for our next adventure…to drive the Atlantic Road. The Atlantic Road connects Averøy with the mainland via a series of small islands and islets spanned by a total of eight bridges over 8274 meters (5.14 miles). The road was opened in 1989 and is toll free. The Atlantic Road has National Tourist Route status and the entire stretch between Bud and Kristiansund is one continuous experience packed with coastal scenery, culture and history.

Trondheim [7/23/23]
Coffee and a cinnamon roll at the Café Bare followed by a walking tour of Trondheim, visiting the Nidaros Cathedral. Nidaros Cathedral is a Church of Norway cathedral located in the city of Trondheim. It is built over the burial site of King Olav II, who became the patron saint of the nation, and is the traditional location for the consecration of new kings of Norway. We were fortunate enough to be at the cathedral just as a wedding party was coming out of the church. Beautiful. That evening we ate at Café Baklandet Skydsstation (which is Swedish for Hinterland Shelter Station) and had Reindeer Stew and Smoked Cod with risotto, both of which are traditional Nordic dishes.
