Couldn´t resist taking a pic of a restaurant called Weinerwald-it was too tempting and besides, we had lunch there one day. Chicken wraps with the sounds of Elvis in the background.

Yep. Elvis lives.



This is the house that they used to shoot the garden scenes in the Sound of Music



After...some problems...with our hostel in Oslo, we were incredibly lucky and got a room at an actual hotel. Hot water, soft beds, it was almost a dream.



Funny door sign at the hotel



I was so excited about the room I just had to take pics



Because we were on a budget and since restaurants (along with everything else in Oslo) were super expensive, we went to the store and stocked up, taking advantage of the mini-fridge. We ate 3 meals a day for 2 and a half days for under 20 bucks each.

Thrifty.



Ship inside the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. Very very cool and very very humongous.




Saddle from the era of the vikings. Ouch-it looks pretty uncomfortable to sit on...



Some Viking shoes. Although these were quite stylish, I´m going to stick with my Chuck Taylors. :)



Viking combs



Although the pic didn´t turn out at all (the lighting inside the museum wasn´t that great for taking pics), this is just to show the sheer size of these ships. Yep, that´s little old me in the bluish coat in the lower left hand corner.



Diana navigating (note the Austrian hat)



The main street in Oslo: Karl Johans Gate



Edvard Munch´s grave. (We visited his museum and it wasn´t incredibly impressive, especially since they´ve still not recovered The Scream)



Cool statue in the middle of the sidewalk



A definite highlight of Oslo-the Nobel Peace Museum. They had a great Robert Capa exhibit and tons of things to see and do.

I don´t think I´ll ever want to go back to Norway, I wasn´t a huge fan to be honest, but if you find yourself up in that part of the world you must check out the Viking Museum and the Nobel Peace Museum. Of the two nordic coutries that I have visited, I much preferred Sweden to Norway. When I was in Stockholm two years ago it was just a lot more welcoming than Oslo. Better vibe for sure and much more to see.
