Trondheim: the city that stumbles seedily about in a distressed leather jacket and run-down black jeans while crooking its track-marked elbow around its hot Asian girlfriend. Yes, there may not yet be an evening but there is amazing Thai food up here at 63° North; we were so impressed by the existence of crisp, fresh vegetables that we've been to

I don't really expect to find much garlic, or Thai, or broadband internet..

It's OK.. you promised us polar bear pictures, yes?

I very much hope to have polar bear pictures for you. Also for me.

And a rock. I have two rocks already, but considering that the reason I wanted to go to Svalbard in the first place was the description Richard Fortay gives of his depressing year doing fieldwork looking for fossils in Spitsbergen, I'm holding out for a better rock.

I bought my Wellies in Copenhagen -- where they were on sale. Having never really been in the market for Wellington boots before, I had no idea where I'd next see them, and no inkling that they'd be sold in every shoestore and camping store and quickie mart in Norway. I am happy though that the Danish prices were quite reasonable compared to this ubiquitous Norwegian usury.

Thanks for letting me travel vicariously down the Royal Canal and cross through the Green Gate. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

It's been my pleasure!
