Trondheim - Norway's third largest city - & Roros - world heritage site

Arrived at the 'P' Hotel, Brattora in the early afternoon yesterday. The temperature was in the low 20s with not a cloud in the sky.
We'd had quite a nature filled journey from Molde. First spot was a roe deer and her twin fawns by the side of the road. A few miles furterr on I spotted a mummy elk !!!!!!! and her calf at the edge of a field. That was VERY exciting. Saw dozens of herons, loads of pied wagtails (which are migrant visitors here, flocks of geese (maybe grey lag)and the ubiquitous hooded crows.
First stop on our self guided walking tour of Trondheim was Nidaros Cathedral. The city was founded in 997 by Viking King Olaf Tryggvason and, up to 1217, was the capital of Norway. The cathedral, started in 1070, is the most important Gothic building in Norway and, since the middle ages, there has been a Pilgrims' Route, 400 miles long, from Oslo to St Olav's tomb in the Cathedral.
Trondheim, with the buildings historically made of wood, has fallen victim to numerous devastating fires and since the 17th century has been pretty much re-constructed.
I found it a lovely small city: lots of beautiful buildings, wide streets in a grid, a cafe culture, vibrant quay area and plenty of interesting shops :)
There were quite a few old traditional wooden boats moored in front of the hotel. Some sort of Boat (and everything connected with boat) Show on which they were part of.
This morning we left bright and early on our way to Roros: a UNESCO World Heritage Site to the south east nearly on the Swedish border.
We managed to get on the very last Tour of the village in English which was both interesting and entertaining.
In 1644 copper was discovered in the town and a Copper Works established. Because the people couldn't live entirely off their income from the mining company they had small farms at the back of their houses.
There are approximately 100 wooden houses from the 1700 and 1800s, with dark pitch pine facades, still inhabited by the local people. From the 1920s there have been preservation orders on these buildings, which are decorated on the street side and plain on the farm side, right down to the colours they have to be painted.
We had a tour of the beautiful church dating back from 1784 built by the mining company with a capacity of nearly 2,000 people where pews with curtains were auctioned off at the beginning of each year so that the great and the good could be awarded their rank and position.
A beautiful place seen at its very best in beautiful weather.
We are now in Trollton avoiding Musk Ox. More about that later x
