Soria Moria Oslo

... to watch the football and try to update<br>our blog (the computer was ****).<br> We had decided to rent a bike each the<br>previous day, so after getting the special bike card, we rode around<br>to some main attractions. We went to the Munch-Museet and saw the<br>famous 'Scream' and 'Madonna' painting, followed by the Vigeland Park<br>(which was a sight to see) and Vigeland Museum. We also cycled to the<br>Viking Ship Museum ...

... br><br>People here have plenty of vacation time to enjoy. Summers are relaxing and family time filled. The air is fresh. It really does seem like Canada, but in Europe. The standard of living is a tad higher than Canada's, but it seems that the people can afford it (or maybe they have no choice but to? I have no idea). I probably wouldn't be able to afford to live here, but I've been able to manage for the past few days. <br><br><br>

Had a great tour of Oslo. Got to take pictures from way up the mountains overlooking the city (Holmenkollen), and also visited the Vigeland Sculpture Park and the Viking Museum. There were three authentic 1000 year old longboats in the Viking Museum, plus some artefacts that were unearthed with them.

... as our train terminated at Majorstuen. Since we were in the area I suggested visiting the City Museum, situated in the Vigleparken, as it was free and I was interested. Steve agreed so we took the conveniently there number 12 tram 2 stops to the park. Unfortunately we arrived to be told that the museum was closed on Mondays, which made Steve quite upset. Oslo doesn't seem to have impressed him and it is as though he is wearing his dissatisfaction on his sleeve. I was ...

... interesting, I particularly liked two others that we bought prints of. You'll get to see them when you visit us after the trip. The whole museum is not that large, and neither is the Scream. What I found interesting about that picture is that there are maybe 6 or so canvases of the same picture, but with different people in place of the scream. Interesting. He must have liked that particular spot. I only spent 10 minutes or so actually viewing his ...

... in good location overlooking the harbour. So we found ourselves having a really good day of sightseeing around Oslo, after originally thinking there wasn't much to do. Oslo was nice, with some great architecture, and beautiful sights. The cost of everything was a bit depressing however! I was expecting it to be like Stockholm. Oslo wasn't like Stockholm. It was rougher. More expensive, but perhaps a little bit more interesting.

... Han er dessuten proffisjonell trompetist og hadde med seg trompeten overalt. Vi la oss på soldekk og Pilset, vi var i Taxfreen og kjøpte Sprit, øl og lommelerke. Litt brisne gikk vi og spiste Kyllingsalat og brød, som var det billigste vi fant. Etterpå Så vi Sandra Bulloch i miss undercover, filmen stinka maks, men ett fett for dama er deilig. Klokka 23.00 begynte underholdningen, en stor negerdame ...

Took the over night train from Bergen and spent the day roaming the city. First thing I have to say is it's so ******* expensive here. I have had a month of prices being cheap around eastern Europe and I come here and have to think twice about buying a bottle of water. It was OK in Bergen because I was being looked after but here I am speak-less. I need to get hell out of here before all my money drys up. Apart from moaning about the price of ...

... with the shop keeper, who was actually a Russian immigrant, married to a Frenchman and the two of them were now living in Oslo-go fig. But she was very nice and we talked a long time about Norway (sadly I don't remember exactly what we talked about) but still it was a nice encounter I remember. Behind this important government building there is this small "garden/park" like area all out of concrete blocks with bronze ...
