Easter Holiday 3

Day 5

"Hei Silu, wake up!" Kim sounded really stressed when he woke me up 7:30 am on Tuesday morning. Our train was leaving 8 am and we didn't know where the trainstation was. As fast and as quiet as we could, we packed our stuff. Fortunately the trainstation was just 5 minutes walking from the hostel away. We bought a little breakfast in the Narvesen-shop. In the train we watched movies or just the beautiful coutryside. The train between Bergen and Oslo passes Finse, the hightest trainstation in Norway with 1222 m. There are no public roads to Finse. Therefore the train is quite important for this region. After 6 and a half hour we arrived Oslo. We put our baggage in a safe deposite box at Oslo S. It was fantastic weather and this day we just chilled at Akerbrygge. Unfortunately we broke our deal, not to visit a McDonald's. The temptation was to strong. In the evening we took the Underground to Harald's apartment. We ate a very good Lasagne together. Suddenly, this long and nice day was over.

Day 6

We wanted to wake up early because we had some plans for this day. The day before we bought a public transport ticket. For 24 hours we could use every bus, underground, tram or ferry boat. So, we took the Underground to Holmenkollen. I think most of you have heard about it. That's the big skisport center in Oslo with its famous ski-jump. 90 NOK poorer, we visited the skimuseum there and the ski-jump. We had a fantastic view over the whole city with the fjord. Back in the center we decided to take a ferry boat without knowing where it goes. Our 24 hour ticket ended 3:30 pm. For that reason we took the Underground back to Harald at this time. We bought some barbecue stuff in the city and walked to a very pretty lake where we chilled some hours. First we wanted to take the train on Thurday morning but we decided to take it already on Wednesday evening. 10:45 pm we arrived Halden and Anne-Marit picked us up.
