Oslo is a really cool city, though it is not so large in both size and people (550,000). I got lost for about an hour last night after I got in and went looking for a place to grab some money and quick food at about 10:30 on a Sunday night. After being lost, I looked for how to get back, ended up walking the wrong way down a street and ended up about 2 kilometers from where I wanted to be. However, that is not really so long of a walk, and I was able to get back rather quickly once getting directions from a local.
So this morning I walked out from the hostel and checked out about 3 museums (all of which were closed it turns out) and so I walked over to an old fort overlooking the harbor and the city and then headed over to the Royal Palace to see the changing of the guard. Then I headed back to the hostel for some washing up and doing some laundry, as I am out of clean clothes as of this morning.
A quick break from the laundromat and I am here to do some blogging. I have a free reservation for the train to Bergen on the West coast of Norway for tomorrow at 8:10 am and I also now have a free place to stay in Copenhagen thanks to couchsurfers.com.

My favorite part of Oslo is everyone speaks better English than me.
ReplyDeleteAnd they smirk when you ask if they speak English.
Actually, Norwegians are like Canadians, but even a little friendlier, so I think they would only smirk on the inside :)
