After lunch we get on the bus for the 4-hour drive to Oslo.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..

I wake up just in time to take some snapshots of a few buildings before we arrive at the dinner venue. Sorry, our tour guide is out so I can’t identify any of the buildings.

 

 

 

 

AHA!!! I got this one! Hotel Bristol!

 

I wish we had free time so I could watch this show

 

Dinner is at Kaffistova. The place is designed like a modern cafeteria.
The food is like high school cafeteria.

 

                  Mountain of stale bread                                                     Some canned soup

 

                        Sweet chili chicken                                                      Strawberry mousse

 

After dinner, we check in at First Millennium Hotel, leave our bags in our rooms, and explore the city on our own.

 

Jump shot in front of the City Hall. This is my first ever jump shot and I totally nailed it! Sorry, but I am SO VERY PROUD. Wee!!!
