Pensjonat Oslo

... the Viking museum (Claire was bored) which must be situated in millionaires row - some amazing houses! We went on a ferry across Oslo Fjord, Visited the Castle and went to the ski museum where we travelled up to the top of Oslo's Ski Jump ...

I'm starting to get used to Scandinavia’s high prices, but that doesn’t mean I’m liking them. Oslo isn’t much better in that regard than Copenhagen, but at least my room has a mini-fridge in it, so that’s worth ...

... and restaurant area of Oslo. And we walked by the Royal Palace.  Nothing much exciting here. Our overnight train to Oslo was scheduled to depart at 5:30pm that evening.  We headed toward the train station for our next ...

After Andrew got his tattoo, we caught the 12:45 (ish – memory a bit hazy!) train to Oslo. The train ride was good and quite fast and both Andrew and I couldn't keep our eyes of the beautiful scenery rushing by. The trees were moulting and the reds, ...

... when we opened the curtains it was snowing, so we hurriedly changed into boots and coats, and off we went to discover a white Oslo. Mandy certainly didn't mind the snow. She said it made her 'feel like a schoolgirl', but it meant that we didn't linger ...

... (4pm) so we had to give that a miss which was a shame. Instead we wandered around town and snaffled a few souvenirs. Oslo city definitely got bigger thumbs up from us compared to Copenhagen - much more vibrant, greener, more parklands, tree lined ...

... that Norway was expensive but we cannot get over how much. Jim and I just paid nearly $50 for a takeaway coffee and some buns. Oslo apart from being pricey is very pretty. It's very much an outdoor promenading sort of city, which is a shame as it’s ...

... . The collection of Munch paintings is excellent here, too, in spite of his limited range of motivs. We manage to leave Oslo smoothly over labyrintic highway connections around the inner city. E6 north is a clear indication which will be valid from now ...

It's bloody raining here. What a load of crap. it was beautiful in Torp... evidently should have stayed there. Pretty city, but Incredibly expensive. Prices average twice to three times as much as in the UK. Budget Phill, ...

... memories of the park, and it was on our 'must see' list for the holiday. In the afternoon we took a bus out to the Oslo International School where one of Mandy's pupils from home may be attending when they move to Oslo later in the year. Even though we ...

Spent the weekend I'm in Oslo!  £12 return flights! :)  Woo hoo! I'd heard it's a beautiful city - it's meant to be a lovely combination of man-made and God-made stuff - beautiful architecture and set in mountains so hiking and stuff ...

... same exchange program (Michael Alaimo, Hillary Essig, Talia Hale). The city itself is beautiful. I would recommend making your way to Oslo sometime, but make sure you have lots of money. It is extremely expensive.  We arrived in the evening and after ...

... no windows to open, we were down to t-shirts real quick. Pregnant ladies were fanning themselves,and we burst off the train at Oslo in a sweat into a 3 degrees chill. A relaxed 1st class train turned into a 3rd class bus, but that's the joy of traveling ...

... the bright idea of taking Claire out for dinner. So we decided on an Indian as one of the guide books recommended it. Oslo itself is like any other unremarkable city and after finding the restaurant we waited to be seated for 15Min's then order what can ...

... guy dressed up as a fairy started dancing around the surrounding cliff tops.  It was quite comical! Our trip concluded in Oslo, where we spent the following day visiting some of their fantastic museums - the Viking Ship museum, the Fram museum (I ...
