Viking Ship Museum and other adventures



Go here for more pictures!

This will be a relatively short blog entry since I don't have much time to go in-depth, but suffice to say, it was another day of grand adventuring for me and the usual suspects here in Oslo, despite the inclement weather. Tim, Mike, Ray and I took the bus out to the Viking Ship Museum, then wandered through an exceedingly posh neighborhood in order to get to the Kon-Tiki Museum as well. Have to say, fantastic museums aside, the highlight of the day for me was being jumped by a random kitty while walking down the pavement with a kebab in hand. This cat was seriously the most friendly little critter ever, and we all just hovered around her for a bit before moving on. Definitely brightened my day despite the gloomy overcast. :)

So in total, we saw three museums today: the Viking Ship Museum, the Kon-Tiki Museum, and the Industrial Art Museum, which wasn't part of our agenda but became part of it as soon as we realized the Reptile Park required an 80kr entry fee. (No, thank you!) The Industrial Art Museum was unexpectedly fascinating, and filled with lots of chairs that we could not sit on because they were all part of the various exhibits. I wish I'd been able to take photographs, but alas, no dice.

And yes, I did live it up on St. Patrick's Day. You can't tell in this picture (which Julia's boyfriend Magnus took), but I was in fact wearing lots of green! Green tights, green cardigan, green jewelry.

Left to right: Ray, Tim, me, Julia, and Mike. Hooray for the Evergreen Regulars! :)

I'm back at Kringsjå now, and apparently someone is hosting a Bollywood night in the party room! I'm going to head over just long enough to poke my nose in and scope out the possibility of free food, then we're convening at Ray's place in order to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark while consuming mass quantities of chips, salsa and sour creme.

Hadet! <3
