Oslo baby....continued

So when I ended my last entry we were getting ready to go out to eat and had a reservation to keep. We ate at an Indian place which was very good....but expensive. Oslo is the most expensive city in the world! The prices here are pretty much twice as much as in Copenhagen, crazy! Our hotel is the Comfort Hotel Børsparken and it is VERY nice. The rooms are much bigger than the ones in the Absalon, and have actually been worked on and don't have decor from 1950. I actually don't feel like I'm going to be dirtier after showering anymore. The shower is a cylinder but kind of lacks in space, so showers could be interesting. I have a feeling I'm going to run into the sides quite often!

Tomorrow we are going to the Viking Ship Museum just outside of Oslo. I'm really excited about it. It is supposed to be bigger than the one we saw in Roskilde. Later in the week we are going to the Antiquities Museum and the Resistance Museum from WWII. Those should be very interesting days. We are also going to an art museum with lots of painings by Edward Munch (The guy who painted 'The Scream'). I'm not looking forward to that visit as much but still think it will be interesting.

I've decided that I really like Olslo...A LOT. I was dissapointed that when we went through customs we didn't get our passports stamped. I guess they only do that at your point of entry into Europe and not when you go from place to place. Our hotel has free Norwegian Waffles in the dining area from 3-7 PM. We had some today and they were amazing. I think that may be my dinner while I'm here. I still haven't gotten used to the keyboards here and it is getting difficult to type! All of us have agreed that we enjoy Oslo more than Copenhagen. Even though we aren't in the top notch neighborhood, it is still much better than Copenhagen. The view from my window looks over some trees at a huge mountain with many houses on it and looks cool at night. I really want to go and look at the fjord around here and hope I can find time and people to go sometime.

Well, I'm going to head off to bed and get my beauty sleep so I can look pretty while walking around the museum. Oh, one last thing! I don't remember if I mentioned this in a previous entry but the people here are very in shape and seem to walk everywhere. I also don't think I've ever seen a city with more bikes than Copenhagen. Even in January there are so many people riding their bikes, it blows me away!
