I decided to go to Oslo, Norway to visit a friend since I had some time off! I've never really heard anything great about it before but I'm always up for trying something new so I thought why not? I was off on March 1/07. I had to stop over in London and then take a two hour flight to Oslo. I start…

First off, this entry, or any of my entries to come, are probably not going to be of any use to anyone on here, but rather a place I found in cyberspace where I can attempt to regurgitate my experiences in some sort of tangible way, if that's the right word I'm looking for.  Anyway, I'm not …

Me & the Tartan Army visit Oslo

The next stage brought us to Oslo, where we climbed onto the well-known Holmenkollen ski jump and walked around the Frogner Park that is a beautiful park with heaps of colourful flower beds, fountains and sculptures.   Staying high above on top of the ski jump was an exciting expe…

I called Gudny this morning and talked with her on my way to the gym. Half way there, I found that I wasn't going to make both the gym AND into Oslo till 1pm. So I turned my car around and headed home. I changed from gymclothes, into more appropriate clothes for a trip to town and went to Len…

Saturday. After a nice scrambled egg buffet in the atrium, and making a healthy sandwich to go, we march down to the waterfront again and the big fort overlooking the harbor. We must take a walking detour in the warm direct sun because of wall reconstruction and find the Resistance Museum. Very we…

Land of the Vikings - and then some. :)

Is the name of Norway coming from word "North" or has this direction been shaped because of the location of the country? In most Western europe, when you go North, that means you are going to reach Norway somehow. The only scandinavian country not part of EU. The border to the Arctic Circle.Oslo is…
