Fun at St Olav's Festival

Trondheim is having its annual party and we're in the midst of it.



There are concerts, shows and activities for children and a splendid Medieval Fair and pageants around the Archbishop's old palace.  There are craftsmen at work, costumed actors and enthusiastic period musicians adding a colourful atmosphere to the occasion.



We've had a day of strolling the streets of the older parts of town, along the River Nyd and the marketplaces.  We joined an international group for a walking tour which gave us lots more information about the history and culture of the City, an early capital and still the city where Royals are crowned or appointed rather than Oslo.
