... no staff at the guesthouse; instructions were left at the reception and our keys were in the room. It says a lot about the level of crime in Oslo that the owners felt comfortable in leaving their guesthouse entirely unguarded in the expectation that only someone entitled to be there would enter it. It was a lovely place, as well; lots of portraiture on the walls, and a lovely old-fashioned bed. It was a peaceful neighbourhood within walking distance of the town centre ...

... it expires at 3 or 4am that day, but a true 24 hour ticket that expires 24 hours after it's first validated :-)<br><br>Today (and also the last few days) was really warm, and we met a family from Stavanger who told us that the weather we were experiencing is quite unseasonal. It normally rains every second or third day, but the predictions are for warm and sunny for the next few - even in Bergen which last year set the record ...

... 5! Almost five! Michael had us scrambling to make the ferry back across the harbour, and it wasn't only raining, it was now torrential. He was frantic, if we didn't make that ferry, he would miss the Nobel Peace Museum. Things were beginning to close, and he really wanted to see it. Like drowned rats, we raced to the boat, and barely made it. But where was Michael? He was ashore, frantic because he couldn't find his Oslo Pass. He even admitted ...

Up early to retrieve my clothes from the dryer. The Spanish girls were up early for breakfast, munching on toast and jam. Oooh ... the sound of three Spanish girls munching on toast and jam ... they managed to make even that sound sexy! It doesn't take much to impress me when it comes to Spanish women, does it? We briefly chatted while I folded my clothes. All three are students from Madrid, and are on their way to Bergen today ...

... and Avionics (Sean) and of course our customer engineers and the customer. Afterwards one of their chiefs took us sight seeing. We went to the Vigeland Sculpture Park. This artist (Vigeland) sculpted hundreds of pieces of humans (all nude) in various poses representing life stages and situations. Very fascinating; you've got to check out my pics. The monolith represents our struggle to succeed in life; how we ...

Robert Stenvik was waiting at the Oslo Airport for us on the morning of April 1 with a big tour bus. He's the organizer and main host for our stay here, getting all of the home stays together and arranging games. In his day job he's a consultant on international shipping, but this week this high-level executive is a volunteer on behalf of the Northwest Nighthawks. Our drive took us to the famous ski jump just outside of Oslo where we climbed to the top, looked down the ...

... the views were incredible! I fell through a snowbridge which was fun, dangerous, but fun! The breathtaking views and reaching the top was unbelievable. I've made a note to self to definatly go back to walk up the glacier, that's if it's still there. Global warming around, and who knows what 's going to happen??

... for the room as well as something to drink; I ended up getting an orange soda similar to Orangina but Norwegian and a bottle of local spring water, which was very good. I also tried to see if I could get a calling card to use for the pay phone at the hostel, which I couldn't find any-people knew what I was talking about but no one seemed to have any. My final stop was at Karl Johanns gate, where I got some take out, which ...
