... leave or our driver would be at risk of breaching his driving hours. Luckily when we arrived at the hotel she turned up about 15 minutes later... basically became disorientated and had got lost. Found a taxi and went straight to the hotel. A bit of excitement for the afternoon, but unwanted excitement as it cut into everyone's nanna nap time before heading out to hit up the oslo night life!

We had dinner at the marina and then wanded into the heart ...

July 1, 2009

Got up early with anticipation of roads not travelled before. Today I need to get by train to Friederickshavn, the northern tip of Denmark's Jutland. Then find the ship that goes to Oslo. I have only 45 minutes between the time the train arrives to get my ticket and get on the ship.

I walked from my hotel to the train station. Felt like I really knew what I was doing…did it three times ...

... with my presence on deck. Once we had settled into the cruise, long after the customer service welcome and safety announcements the captain came on the PA to discuss the voyage - how we were going and what to expect. I find it a bit amusing how I associate this with air voyages when many aviation standards such as this originate from the maritime realm. Following our dinner Steve pretty much retired to the cabin reading (I figure he's more into the destination than the ...

... he was on board that he had a meltdown at that point. I have never seen him so frantic, and I was like "Michael, it's no big deal, we can pay for you to go on the ferry and to get into the Museum if we have to", but it fell on deaf ears. Alls well that ends well though. He made the ferry, and found the pass. I was soaked to the bone, Bob was tired, Carol seemed the most dry (she had the umbrella), and Michael was ready to see the Nobel Museum which ...

... on those around us; some are crushed under us, some crush us. As you look higher you'll notice the figures tend to get younger. Thomas, our guide, also took us to the ski jump used for the Oslo Olympics. You've got to see the pics of this too, but they don't do it justice. We climbed to the top; an elevator, ~40 steps, another elevator, another 110 steps, and what a view!! At least we're burning off that ...

... for the bottle he realizes he has much more money than he should have and thus came to the conclusion that he hadn't paid for his dinner. Again not wanting to look silly by going back he decides that he will say no more about it and buy 2 bottles of bulmers for the ferry. When he had finished telling me the story he asked my opinion. Now not wanting to upset my new traveling companion in any way I told him that it sounds like an honest mistake to me and that I wouldn't worry ...

... and Nutella - Lefse, and jelly - Lefse PB & J - you get the idea. While making my dinner I met a new dorm mate, she was from Germany and very sweet and shy. I offered here some lefse with Nutella and we became food sharing buddies off the bat. The floors in the hostel were notably heated floors, I now see what I was paying for. It is now Easter and I have had my fix of what Oslo had to offer me, I am now on a train heading east to Stockholm, Sweden.

well, trip 1 to oslo is officially completed. boy what a day it was too. we had to wake up pretty much at 0 dark 30 to get to the bus station and take a train down to oslo with just about every other norwegian in the history of the world. my goodness, what a ride. we got there and went running off to our first visit where we learned about diversity year 2008, a program that is happening all next year to encourage diversity between ...

... of bread, various cheeses, eggs, tomatoes, sardines and probably more that I can't remember. We were joined by her 14 year-old daughter Sarah Louise who spoke very good English and was quite talkative. We talked about her playing in her school band that was rated number 2 in Norway. She played an instrument called a euphonium and they have taken band trips by bus to Estonia, Germany ...
