On Saturday we got up nice and early to drive north to Verdal, where Mikkel’s basketball team had an away match with Verdal Vikings. As we did last year, Maria booked us into the Scandic hotel at Stiklestad so we could make the most of the trip.

Unfortunately (for both teams), the difference between them in size and experience meant that it was a very uneven game, the final score being 88 to 5 – in Sverresborg Hoops’ favour.

After the match, we said our goodbyes to the rest of the team and drove the short distance to Stiklestad to the hotel/museum. Here they are in full Christmas mode with lots of seasonal activities (snow wrestling for example*) and a Christmas market. Very cosy – auntie Naomi would love it…

After that it was just a lot of relaxing, drinking and eating – all with a bit a seasonal twist. Sunday morning started with a BIG breakfast and a quick look around the museum before hopping in the car and heading back to Trondheim and Henry.

*not an ‘official’ activity.
