Thon Hotel Gyldenlove Oslo

... 1086;льш&#10 77; 10 евро. Но зато будем знать. Всяки&#10 81; опыт важен. А олень ну прост&#10 86; сказк&#10 72;. С брусн&#10 80 ...

... I would definitely recommend it. <br><br><br>PART 2<br><br>Following on from my last entry the first of presumably many crises that will befall us on this trip occurred. I was sitting in Residence Kristinelund checking through our papers when I realised that I, dear reader, had made a monumental cock-up on the ferry reservation. Instead of being booked to travel on the 5pm ferry to Copenhagen the next day, I had inadvertantly booked us onto the ferry heading in the ...

... 85 days with rain!<br><br>Earlier when we'd gone to get our metro ticket from the newsagent, the guy behind the counter asked us if we were going to have a BBQ. We just thought that it was a jibe at us being Aussies, but... no - turns out it wasn't. It's probably cos it's so dark here in the evenings during winter that the people of Oslo take every opportunity when it's warm &amp; sunny to take to the parks and cook their own ...

... us passage back to the hotel area, where we chilled. For me this involved blogging and checking up on some things on the free lobby internet. I had planned to take Steve to the nearby fortress area but my internet time dragged until it started to get dark and he still didn't seem overly enthused about much. At about 6:30pm Thomas and Linda were back in touch to coordinate going out for dinner, which had been suggested the day before. We were soon on our way to 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 ...

... re spending three nights there, then off to Stockholm and Finland. Hopefully I can run into them again ...<br><br>Anyway, they were friendly but not overly talkative. Perhaps it was because I was only half-awake, or my BO (no shower yet, and it was a hot, sweaty night), or my morning breath (no teeth-brushing yet!), or perhaps they saw me on Spain's Most Wanted list, for assaulting senoritas with cheesy lines. <br><br>Or maybe it ...

... 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 about a half mile and were pleased with our choice of basketball over ski jumping. A quick drive through Oslo showed us the sights we'll see later when we spend a day walking through -- the Nobel Peace Prize Hall, the King's residence, the Viking ship museum, etc. Then it was out to Asker, about 20 miles west. During the last hour of the drive most of the players fell hard asleep, a sign of them being tired from the game-travel schedule and for some still not ...

We had already walked through Oslo's main sights including the Royal Palace and Theatre. But we still had some time before we boarded the bus that would take us to the airport, so we decided to visit the Nobel Peace Museum. It was sitting facing the harbour, a place we new well by now. It seemed deserted today compared to the flurry of yesterday's sun and play. In order to get in to the ...

... basically a salami, cheese sandwich on flat bread and a waffle (which equaled to about 19 dollars by the way) back to the hostel. So I ate my dinner, talked with my roomates for the longest time (one of them was from British Columbia, Canada and was now living in Scotland with her husband while the other was woman from Holland on a skiing holiday) just about Norway and our travel experiences, and eventually we all went to bed.
