Travel

I felt like I had landed in a northern lodge. The whole thing smelled of cedar and really delicious seafood. The train from the airport to Central Station was also just as clean, incredibly quiet, very comfortable seats.

I made it to the national museum where there was a whole room devoted to works by Munch, but we missed the Munch museum. I'm very sad about this. I made it to Vigland Park (beautiful), the Viking museum, the Kon-Tiki museum, the Folk museum, and the Nobel Peace museum. There's so much that I missed in Oslo. After the trip, we wished we had scheduled less time in Bergen, and more in Oslo.

It wasn't until I got home that I was able to read why all these kids were running around in red/blue suspenders -- the Russ??? kids. Here's another thing that was endearing about Oslo: The gentleman that we purchased our train tickets into Central Station said, "Please don't be too disappointed with us." That's so endearing. I was thinking, "We're from the Midwest, I guarantee we're going to be dazzled". We loved Norwegians.
