about Kristiansund here. To drive between the cities takes around 3-3.5 hours. However, it is the third largest in mobilkran lesund Norway. However, boarding began almost immediately and I was on the boat in no time. The Nidarosdomen cathedral is an impressive sight. The students leave their mark on the city by arranging many events, as well as attending the citys other cultural offerings. As of April 2018 a full-price ticket from Trondheim to Kristiansund costs 648kr, and you can of course pay with cash or debit/credit cards. I'd estimate that of the 200-odd people who boarded at Trondheim, only 25 made the full journey to Kristiansund. On board the fast ferry, it isn't possible to buy tickets in advance, so shortly after departure a conductor comes around the lounge.

The terminal is a relatively building with this intriguing piece of interactive modern art outside, named What does the fjord say?'. I'll be taking the Kystekspressen again for sure. I took the ferry leaving Trondheim's Hurtigbtterminalen.10am. Most of these ferries take care and passengers and take from between 15-45 minutes for a crossing. The wide range of things to do may in part be attributed to the citys students, who number more than 30,000. A museum that stands in stark contrast to these is Rockheim, Norways national museum of popular music. In fact the ticket price for the Trondheim to Kristiansund stretch is actually quite a bit cheaper than the fast ferry I travelled on, but it does take twice as long and so rules out the option of a day trip. What to see and do in Trondheim. It's possible to walk onto the small decks outside although it's not the most comfortable experience given the high speed of the craft.

Things soon quietened down after that. It was a very comfortable way to travel and Kristiansund makes for a great day trip from Trondheim, and a nice option for a weekend trip too. A lifeline for many communities, however, ferries are still a lifeline for many rural communities.
