On the way there the train was pretty much full with sailors and soldiers. Had anyone tried to attack the Oslo-bound train from Stavanger I think we would have been well protected. The train ride was eight hours long so even though we left in the afternoon it was midnight by the time we arrived in Oslo.
The weekend trip involved some sightseeing and shopping. We ate at one of the same restaurants I ate at the last time I was in Oslo - Mucho Mas the food is great and the Coronas are cheap...by Norwegian standards.
On Sunday morning we visited the Munch museum...but never did manage to find out if it is pronounced "monk" or "munch". The museum was definitely worth the visit.
On Sunday, the train was not as well protected. We were in the "familievogn" which translates to "family wagon" or more like the "screaming and running toddler wagon". The four of us with our books and Uno cards were very out of place in this car. Luckily after about five hours of noise, the majority of the families got off the train in Kristiansand and we arrived safe and sound in Stavanger at 11:00.
