Finished up my trip plans today. Made essential reservations. It was hard to stick with my original plan to just stay in Norway to keep it simple. I found myself saying “well, with these six days after the ferry boat, you can go to Copenhagen and Stockholm and Helsinki and end up back in Oslo to catch the plane. Well, no you can’t Peg. You are an old woman. Live to travel another day.
So, I am going to spend 3 nights in Bergen (where the ferry lands). If the weather is nice – which is unlikely – I think it is like Skagway weatherwise. So, if it is sunny there are some outdoor things to do. And, if it isn’t there are books to read, shops to check out, coffee to drink. Then take the train back to Oslo for another 4 nights. Oslo really doesn’t interest me. But I am betting I’ll like it. After I get there.
I would like to see Vemork which is where the German’s tried to manufacture heavy water for their atomic bomb. But, I don’t think it is doable.
Here at the Asylum, we have a “Free to Good Home” table. And what was on it this morning but a couple of kaleidoscopes. The cheapest-looking one has an eyepiece that is phone-friendly. So, pictures happen. Could be fun on a slow day.
