Oslo Start
Although trondheim was nice, it was too rainy and cold for me. It was officially my most northern point that i reached in the trip. Apparently they didnt hear that it was summer. So down to oslo i went. Everyone told me meh it wasnt that good, but I liked it. It wasnt like a party town by any means, but its like washington dc, lots of monuments and castles and good stuff to see, lots of free museums too which is a definite plus. Saw the scream (famous painting by norwegian artist) and a couple others, did a viking tour, saw the viking boats that they found preserved, so cool...these things were so sturdy that they look like u could still sail them, even today. The palace was cool, as was the fortress...i think they shot at german ships from it when they invaded in ww2. Cool city, just not for party animals. Only stayed one nite and headed to bergen the following nite train. Got off the train groggy at 6 am and saw a girl holding a sign for a hostel, it said cheapest in town and was recommended by my guide book so i said hey lets go, so she was happy cuz it was cold and early and i was happy cuz i had a bed. Bergen next post!
