... expected. W e walked the half mile of so to Vigeland Sculpture Park, which was an architectural triumph, and then found ourselves in a Steakhouse. We've only really worked out the exchange rate between GBP and Norwegian Kroner today, and have since realised that two steaks and a couple of beers came to £70! Norway is a great place, but it certainly isn't cheap.<br><br>The following morning I was straight on the phone to DFDS, Copenhagen Office. Yes, it appears you ...

A VERY quick day in Oslo, although I think we saw most of the sites. We had a really warm day, probably the warmest of the trip! There were Norwegians sunbaking in every park or grassed area - they do not need a beach to do it! We went to the Akershus castle there, and the audio tour was really interesting, and the castle is still in ...

... happy to keep showing Steve and I around so she led us up on the route 19 tram to see the city lights from the hill on the eastern side of town. This is a part of the city I have not visited before and it offered good, close views of the central area. The three of us had a good discussion about Norwegian culture and language and also spotted the places we had visited over the last few days. We decided to return to the hotel (and not visit the Fort) as it was getting late and ...

... they ever arrive. It will all work out, and I have asked everyone to relax about it because certain people were getting a bit stressed over it. No wonder there is high BP meds involved! And gin! Jumbo Shrimp cocktail began dinner, followed by pate encroute, that I don't remember now that I am writing this. Did it ever come? Hmmmm. The entrée was a filet mignon and shrimp as well, delicious. Although I had ordered mine medium rare and it came medium ...

... for their train. Secretly, I hoped that they would all offer to scrub my back for me ...<br><br>Johan's Gate was dead this morning - too early, I guess. I ate a couple of granola bars and then found a grocery store - bought another one of those super-expensive pizza buns and some juice. Off to the National Gallery - there were some Gustav Vigeland sculptures outside - he had visited Rodin's studio, and you can see a bit of ...

... to Scotland to see Alex's family. We were joined on our train to Scotland by a 35 strong Scottish stag party who announced themselves by falling onto the train desperately clasping onto their bottles of red wine. The stag then spent the next hour slurring at us in an incomprehensible Scottish accent. Sam said goodbye to golf in Scotland by getting locked in the changing rooms prior to his tee off time, but he overcame this to beat the Scots (!). We then ...

... complex with indoor pool and water slides, a big hockey arena, two or three basketball facilities, soccer field, etc. All publically owned. Inside we were warmly greeted -- we're the best show in town right now, althrough there is some kind of regional finals in ice hockey coming tomorrow. In the games the girls played first. Once again we were put up against a team that is one or two years older than we are, a bit of a pattern to date. We hung with the Asker squad ...

... loan sharks in order to buy the raw materials for their baskets. Whatever money they made from the selling of these crafts had to be used to pay back the loan sharks, leaving them with virtually nothing. Having acquired a PhD in Economics from Vanderbilt, Yunus was more than prepared to help out these people who were sinking themselves more and more into poverty. He quoted one ...

... hours. I arrived to the airport, no problem and way on time. In fact, I was at the hotel so early (I was there before 5 A.M., around 4:30 to be exact) that none of the airplane check in stands were open, nor were any of the airport services active. At first I began to worry about whether or not I was going to be able to get my tickets in time since no one was around, but I found an automated Lufthansa check in machine ...
