## Our trip today
|

Today we were doing something referred to in Dutch as _kilometervreten_, perhaps best translated to English as _gobbling up miles_, as we
|
|
spent that extra day up here to hike to the _Svartisen_ glacier, we have to make up for time a little bit. Our boat from _Oslo_ to _Kiel_ is
|
|
on September 11th at 14:00, and while we do have some time between now and then, we also have a lot of things to do. A lot of places to see.
|
|
A lot of people to meet. For today though, the blogpost will be somewhat basic, because, eh, we didn't do much.
|
|
|
|
The drive was 475km or so and we started the day fully charged because we plugged in Tessa the evening before; we left it parked with 361km
|
|
in the battery, and this morning at 08:58am when we were ready to leave it had 356km left, so one night of hanging out in _Mo i Rana_ costs
|
|
5km of range. Over the last 5'755km we have consumed 1'062.3kWh of electricity, which means Tessa is rocking 185Wh per kilometer, a very
|
|
low number in my experience, and this is probably because the speed limit in Norway is 80km/h and we can often reach 72km/h or thereabouts
|
|
while criss-crossing the fjords. Anyway, we parked Tessa at 21:30 so it has been here for 11.5hrs, 5km of range loss is 925Wh so we can
|
|
calculate that the car consumes 80 Watts in standby, while keeping its system running with cell/mobile data turned on.

In the morning I fabricated a fix for the driver's seat doorhandle which is no longer presenting itself, although it is making a whirring
|
|
sound so it's at least trying, and I appreciate that. On the intertubes I found a few videos on what this might be, but consensus is that
|
|
this is a common occurence on older Model S cars, the repair is non-obvious, but a quick-fix is to loop some duct-tape around the handle, to
|
|
pull it out when you need to open the door - because although the handle doesn't present itself, it does actually allow you to open the door
|
|
just fine.

|
|
We drive southbound E6 and hit _Brekkvasselv_ (god-bless-you), which has a supercharger. There's only one other car here, and it's a
|
|
CCS-only charger, once again I am delighted by this. I make my now patent-pending Trunk-salad and Paul does a quick pitstop, only to emerge
|
|
from the local gas station with a medley of olives, garlic and feta cheese. It goes straight in the salad, and we stretch our legs while
|
|
eating this delicious treat of a lunch. If only all of our meals where this healthy (or affordable!)

|

|
|
|
|
After lunch I have a Good Idea™, and re-use some of the tape from this morning to stick the ninth (!) Papa-smurf to our windshield.
|
|
Ever since we've been road-tripping, we would stick a red Papa-smurf to our windshield, and he would guide us on our way. However, Tessa's
|
|
windshield must be overly slippery, because our previous Papas-Smurf (Papa-Smurfs?) kept flying off the windshield within a few
|
|
kilometers of sticking them on there .. but now I made this one a little unescapable cage using three strips of tape. This Smurf ain't going
|
|
nowhere: YOU SHALL GUIDE US!
|
|
|
|
The weather continues to be great, lots of blue skies and some fluffy clouds, with temps of 17C / 63F, really perfect driving weather. And
|
|
as such, we arrive in _Trondheim_ at 16:45 or so. We check in to the Scandic Nidelven, and hang out for a little bit in the room watching TV
|
|
and rummaging around. Paul had made us a dinner reservation at _Olivia's_ just across the footbridge on the other side of the harbor at
|
|
18:30. We get there on the dot, they seat us, and we proceed to pig-out. I have the Carpaccio di Manzo, followed by a Pizza Quattro Formaggi,
|
|
and Paul takes the Caprese di Olivia followed by Pollo alla Fiorentina. We get stuck for desert, and after a brief moment we decide to eat
|
|
some Focaccia, at which point we have a little debate about the pronunciation of _Focaccia_.

After dinner, I definitely have to burn off some calories (perhaps also some alcohol, the wine was tasty!), so we take a walk around town. I
|
|
know there's an "old town" and an "old bridge", and we're all about visiting old stuff. Take the North Cape, for example, we visited it and
|
|
it has been there for like, ever. So we make our way across five distinct geocaches in this old area of _Trondheim_, and we get to see some
|
|
pretty slick views of the city, and of the marina / harbor with the old bridge. We also pay a visit to the _Vår Frue Kirke_, but we don't find
|
|
any old women there: I give it one star on Yelp.
|
|
|
|
And there you have it. I managed to write a whole blog post about pretty much nothing at all just by pasting a bunch of random pictures of
|
|
what we saw today. And the best thing is, you read it. Thanks :)
