Back to Oslo

We arrived back in Oslo at ohhh 6:30am. Yeah early. We went back to the Anker Hostel, where Jenna and Kathleen sat down on the couches and fell asleep for an hour and a half. I wrote in my journal, and had a cup of tea. It was my third cup of tea in Norway, and just another disappointment. It was English Breakfast, but the tea bag opened, so yeah not good. Argh, I was dying to get home just to have a cup of tea, sick I know.

But when the girls woke up, we got our breakfast, and got a bus to the Viking Museum. What a cool place! We thought it opened at 10:00am, so we got there about 10:30am, but it didn't open until 11am. We sat there, and ate our breakfast, and then a group of Chinese tourists came up. It was a huge group of them, and we ignored them. We were just sitting in a row almost eating apples and Kathleen had her bueno stuff. All a sudden, they took a picture of us. I gave them one of my best glares. But the place opened, so we went inside. I was first in line, go me, and I took one look at the list of prices, and one of the Chinese tourist idiots, pushed past Kathleen, and went right to the ticket window. Argh so annoying. After we paid, we hung back just looking at he gift shop letting them get ahead of us. There is nothing more annoying that a group of Chinese tourists... nothing. They take a thousand pictures of each other in front of everything. I'm always tempted to start using elbows when I'm in London by around Big Ben or something. They are pretty bad there. Argh oh well. So we started looking at the ships, and about 20 minutes later, I was reading something about one of the ships, when I see a flash out of the corner of my eye. I looked up expecting to see like Jenna taking a picture of me, but yeah it was one of the Chinese tourists. AH!

Argh anyway, the Viking Museum was nice. They had three ships, and artifacts. It was really interesting, the ships were cool. Amazing that they were buried and found in some farm. We spent a little less than hour there. After that we almost went to the folk museum, but when we got there, it was more like Plymouth Plantation for little kids, so we left. We took the bus back to the harbour, went to the Resistance Museum, that I believe I talked about in an earlier blog. Opps. After that, we went to the park that is full of naked statues. Kathleen wanted to see one of a baby stomping his foot, or something. It was a long walk, but we made it. There was also a statue of Abe Lincoln, which Kathleen went crazy over. She loves Abraham Lincoln.

We had a good time, just hanging out, and talking. After that we went back to the hostel, we ate, and went back to the hostel. It was late, and we were waking up early, at like oh 5am. I went to bed at like 9:30pm, and was sleeping peacefully until 1am, when our room mates came in, and made enough noise to wake the dead. They turned on the lights, were whispering and laughing. After about 15 minutes they finally settled down and went to bed. I, of course, never forget what is done to me, and the girl who was closest to me got a rude awakening the next morning. We got up and left around 5am, and I grabbed my bag and let it fall onto my bed. She woke suddenly...hehe. Stupid girls. I have no idea from where they were from, they didn't speak English, but at 1am I could not tell what language they spoke. It was pretty obvious though as soon as they turned on the light, that there was three sleeping girls in the room, and maybe one should be quiet. Who has manners these days though?

But that's my trip to Norway. Tomorrow I leave for Athens and then Rome. I CANNOT WAIT! I've been preparing by watching Rome. Since no one else is here, youtube and dailymotion work, so I was able to watch the first season of Rome. AHHHHH! So exciting. The other day I was looking at wikitravel and writing down places in Rome that I would like to go to, and it would have been easier to type: EVERYWHERE. HAHA! Cannot wait!!

Til I return from Athens and Rome.
