It was great to walk around a biggish, international city, full of regular-type people. Copenhagen was good too, but Oslo has a way more diverse mix. Not just tourists and locals.

Also, so many gypsies! Lots more homeless people and begging than I could have imagined.

With all my preparation and careful packing, I have brought the wrong shoes. Aarrrgghh! I found a few second hand stores, but no luck so far finding another pair for a decent price.

I spent the morning on a tour which I abandoned bc rain, and the afternoon at the national gallery here. So good. Well organised and full of treasures too.

How does anyone here make it? I’m cheap and all, but damn…..shizz is ridiculously expensive here. As a for instance, the toilet at the train station costs 2.50 usd.😓

When the sun shines and the breeze comes up, man this city is delightful. Norway is frickin beautiful. 

I’m enjoying my hostel stay. Got some bad reviews, but the bed is comfortable and there’s tons of hot water. A regular hotel room is 200 bucks so I’m very pleased.

Tomorrow I’ll definitely go to the Viking ship museum.
