... but a Norwegian....so kudos to that guy....lets give him a Museum|! But as all adventurers ....he had a wacky vision and a theory; that people had sailed from South Africa to Polynesia as the early sculptures and religions had similarities. ....and we now have much more history of the undocumented world as a result of his efforts.<br><br>We had our pics taken with an actual Easter Island sculpture......given to the King fof Norway from the Polynesians.....very cool....as ...

... Copenhagen and after another all you can eat buffet, the ship started to rock. This was too much for a lot of people and they decided to take the night off from drinking and try to sleep through the worst of the storm. Unfortunately this didn't work. I would say that about 75% of the CBS exchange students on the cruise were unable to head up to the upper decks and stayed down in the lowest floor, where our cabins were and where the boat rocked the least. Of these ...

... from the sculptor Gustav Vigeland who also helped design the park's layout. Interesting sculptures but the most famous, Sinnataggen - aka "Angry Boy", was well worth stopping by the park. Oh, he's sooooo angry! When Jeff doesn't get his way, Sara will often see her husband start to morph...more and more until he reaches full on Angry Boy pose. Uncanny is the resemblance. We then parked near the main train station and walked up the ...

... around the surrounding cliff tops. It was quite comical! Our trip concluded in Oslo, where we spent the following day visiting some of their fantastic museums - the Viking Ship museum, the Fram museum (I am so impressed that you can go on board the Fram), the Kontiki museum, and a brief visit to the National Gallery. For those of you who don't know, the Fram is the ship Amundsen took to Antarctica when he was the first to ...

... with us back to Oslo so she could catch a bus or train or something. Random! So, then we went dancing (thanks Stig for being my dance partner), then after party at Stigs (which we had to buy frozen Norweigian pizza for and somehow downed Jägermeister shots and then the sun came up, and the rest is history :) 12 hours baby! Anyways, the pictures will do this more justice. Hey Muhammed- another way to use the word justice in a sentence! ha ha.

... me in her native tongue. So, I pretended not to understand English, and I mischievously added, "Jeg kan ikke engelsk. Jeg har nettopp ankommet fra Mongolia. Kunne du snakke mongolsk?" (I can't speak any English. I just arrived from Mongolia. Could you speak Mongolian?) Why I chose Mongolia, I couldn't easily explain. It was probably one of the most remote countries at the tip of my tongue, whose language not many people would have any ...

... at your destination fresh. Also you then don't lose any of the days kept for exploring the cities. That is the theory anyway but I'm afraid that wasn't the way it panned out for this first overnight bus journey. I felt every minute of every mile as the bus edged its way across Wales and England to London. It was a complete nightmare, I was sitting on the aisle seat so every time someone passed my elbows were knocked about and thus sleeping was something of an intermittent ...

... have not converted to the Euro means their economy is still very much in turmoil and not stable enough to adapt the privilege of a unified exchange system. I couldn´t muster the thought of having to pay this kind of fee every time I wanted to use the internet - before heading out into the cold to find my hostel I opened my laptop in the waiting area of the train station - I had the option of connected to 5 other unsecured connections for ...

... sun and salt on our faces as we approached Oslo's main harbour. It was only 5pm but shops and sights had already started closing up for the day. Considering we were still technically in summer season, it seemed strange that things would close up so early. Nonetheless we wandered around the city observing the people, the buildings, the vibe. So ...

... plus et j`avais trouve mon pensionnat ...a 2 minutes de la station de train! Je ne pense pas faire grand chose ce soir, je vais me coucher tot je suis tres fatigue et tout est tres cher ici. Le pensionnat est super beau! c`est tellement propre! On se croirait a l `hotel carrement. Le probleme par contre c`est qu`il n`y a pas grand monde. Je vais aller manger du yogourt...
