Great breakfast in the hotel this morning.  We sure wish we were able to eat tons of food because that breakfast buffet was one of the best.  The only breakfast buffet that rivals this one was the breakfast buffet we had a couple of years ago at the Hilton Hotel Slussen in Stockholm.
Last night, Guillermo and I ordered fish cakes from the hotel's restaurant and boy were they delicious.  They had smaller versions of those fish cakes in the breakfast buffet so I was able to enjoy them again in the morning.
Guillermo, John and Bill went to the airport in the morning to check about John's suitcase.  It wasn't available so they asked for it to be held when it did come in and John will just pick it up when we come back through Trondheim.  While they did that, I walked across the bridge that we could see from our hotel room and took a couple of pictures.
This is the name of the town where we stayed.  Some of us felt it was a very fitting name when we arrived here yesterday.

The view from the bridge - the water was like a mirror.

After checking out, we did a little shopping in the small mall that was across from the hotel.   John bought a few items of clothing, we all picked up a few things from the grocery store and I also bought a new umbrella!
Our drive to Alesund was simply spectacular.  Norway is ANOTHER beautiful country!!!
The mountains lined up along the water were exactly how I pictured Norway.  We had coolish, cloudy weather with periods of light rain and we also had to take two ferries.
Here comes the first ferry we caught.

Here our car is in a line to catch the next ferry, so I got out and sat on the rocks to take these pictures.

That's our ferry arriving in the distance.

These pictures were taken from the ferry.



It was almost dark when we got to Alesund so we did not get to see too much of it.  Maybe we'll get a chance tomorrow.
Since it was already dark, we just walked around a few streets looking for a restaurant, didn't find one, so we ate at the hotel's restaurant.  The portions were minimal but the food was good.
