... made a mistake. Yes, we can change your reservation, but there are no spaces left on today's Oslo-Copenhagen crossing. Sorry. Perhaps you could call back later to see if there are any cancellations? Would you like to travel tomorrow instead?<br><br>Travelling on the Wednesday was an option, but it meant that we'd have less time in Copenhagen, and as nice as Oslo is there's not a great deal to do (it's undoubtedly a much better place to live in than it is to visit). We ...

... for events today, which is unusual but fantastic!<br><br>The viking museum was really interesting - there were 3 small ships from the 9th Century, which had been used as burial chambers for rich Norwegians of the time. They were laid in the ships with food and goods for the afterlife and then covered with dirt to create a burial mound.

... chances of Steve's toes succumbing to frostbite were increasing. Back at the central station Linda kindly bought back the excess single ride tram tickets that we didn't end up using that night from us before we farewelled her too. It's somewhat sad to be leaving Oslo because I enjoy being here, no matter what it is I'm doing and it's great to have awesome people like Thomas and Linda to visit. Next time I'm in this part of the world I'll definitely have to make sure Oslo is on my itinerary.

... and was notated so as well) . Wine and a cappuccino rounded out my meal. None of the deserts looked appetizing, and who needs the calories. Much lively conversation ensued, and then Bob suddenly disappeared, followed by Carol who headed to the show (Lord knows where Bob went). Michael and I chatted with our dining companions a short while longer, then left ourselves and went to the Pinnacle Grill's new wine bar. Michael had seen a bottle of South ...

... in his work. But his works definitely weren't as powerful or evocative as Rodin's. <br><br>The National Gallery was nothing exceptional, but offered some decent art. The highlight was Edward Munch's "Scream" - everybody has seen this painting before, but I had no idea that it was painted by a Norwegian. Apparently, he completed four different versions and on one, he scrawled a message across it, graffiti-style " This painting is ...

... to Newcastle where we boarded our mini cruise to Norway. The crossing of the North Sea was remarkably smooth (Sam believes this may be due to the luck he inherited from stepping in the worlds largest sheep **** in Scotland - it nearly reached his ankle). The crowd on the cruise ship were chavs, social lepers or fat. Very classy. But actually good fun. 28 hours later we arrived in Bergen but spent the night on board, disembarking the next day to find a room in ...

... the first quarter. But they are perhaps the best team of this age group in Norway and we fell behind in the second period and further in the third. They have five girls who can nail threes, hitting 10 in the game, and some good size inside as well. A very good squad. We lost the game by over 20 points, but rallied in the fourth period to win it 18-12, so we know we can play with this team. Shelby was very effective inside, often on second or third attempts, and ...

... phrase from Nelson Mandela that has stuck with me ever since: "Poverty is not natural. It is man made and can be overcome by the actions of human beings." We roamed around the museum and learned about the peace laureates since the prize was first given out in 1901 by Alfred Nobel. Their incredible stories made me shrink back in awe and humility, so much so that my eyes stung with ...

... I could get my tickets. I had actually purchased my tickets with Scandanavian Airlines, but Lufthansa is a partner airlines with them, so I figured that I'd give the automated Lufthansa check in a try since no one was around. Sure enough it worked and I got my tickets. Now I needed to go through security but once again, no one was there yet. So I ended up sitting on a bench near by, like so many other travelers were. There ...
