Oslo, Norway

Ten of us decided it would be a fun to road trip to Norway. We rented two cars from EuroCar... Just so happens that American Licenses aren't allowed to drive through that company, which was probably for the best.. Kilometers instead of Miles, Reverse in the place of 1st Gear, and winding roads (not good driving conditions for me:)). And to top it all off it was a 4:45AM start time on a Saturday, and if anyone knows me in the morning, it is not a pretty sight! But the boys were nice enough to be the first ones to drive so we could all get our sleep! Granted if you have ever tried to sleep in the back of a VW Golf with it packed to the T... It is not possible!

It was probably for the best though. I saw some of the most amazing sights, but clearly I would leave my camera in my bags in the bottom of the trunk! There were many more view to see in Oslo though. We made it safe and sound despite miscalculating the distance a bit...

We all bought the Oslo Pass which allowed us to enter most museums and use the public trains and trams! It was a lot of fun and here are some of the pictures of the different museums and sights we went to:

Group Shot in front of a harbor...

The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet - The first Opera house to let visitors walk all over it... literally up the sides onto the roof.




Holmenkollen Ski Museum - We got to go all of the way to the top for the most incredible view...







The Fram Museum - The Polar Ship Frame - I didn't think I would really like going to this, but it was actually very interesting and you could go into the ship and see all of the little rooms.






Some Random views walking through the city...



One of the Harbors

We found some New Yorkers... In front of Franklin D. Roosevelt Statue:p

View from the Island

City hall

Nobel Peace Center (Nobels Fredssenter)



Well that was Oslo in a nutshell! It was beautiful despite the rainy weather the second day! I would love to go back one day and see the infamous Norway Fjords... They look incredible.

Well stay tuned for some Ireland and Scotland pictures... I leave this Friday for a five day vacation:) I am so excited!

Love and miss you all at home!
