TE 2009 – Day 10 (Aug 21)

Sunday, 13 September 2009
Jakarta, Indonesia

Again, Uno became the tour guide of the day for the Gang of Four, and took us out for another walk around Trondheim downtown.

We started with a visit at NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), where Uno took us around various buildings, including the Institute of Industrial Economy and Technology Management, where Uno has his office, and where we were introduced to one of Uno’s colleagues as well. Also of interest was the 25 meter long Foucault pendulum, which proves that the Earth is rotating, at the Nature Sciences building.

We then continued our walk to the 850-year-old Nidaros Cathedral, including a climb up the tower with great views of Trondheim.

Continuing our walk, we strolled down to the city square, bought some strawberries and gooseberries, sat down at a cafe, and then took a bus in direction Uno’s residence around 16:15. We made a quick lift to the top of Tyholt television tower (with another great views of Trondheim) before walking to Uno’s residence nearby.

Day 10 was rounded off with Uno’s salmon meal creation.
