Sea Day/Oslo

June 24th/25th
Sea Day/Oslo

The 24th was a sea day and four days ago, for whatever reason I’m having a hard time remembering anything significant from that day – but give me a second…thinking…thinking…nope, nothing really. We did have a funny guest entertainer to play behind, he played clarinet, sax, trumpet, and piano…this guy might just have me beat on instruments. Anyways, nothing too exciting.
We were in Oslo on the 25th, a port I was able to visit on my first ship. Last time I was here, as I’m sure I wrote about way back when, I didn’t enjoy the city because I went on this crummy tour to some museums I wasn’t entirely interested in. Today was meant to be my second chance.
I got off the ship with a friend from the spa and basically just walked the city all day. I can’t say anything particularly exciting happened, but we did have a very pleasant exploring excursion. The downtown shopping area of Oslo is really hip, so I’d kind of like to go back there again and look around, meanwhile the rest of the city was pleasant enough. And after a couple hours, bunch of pictures, and case of Ping-pong balls, we headed back to the ship around 12:30 (early sail away). My only real problem with the city would be the prices of everything. Nothing is cheap. I went in a book store and found books on sale still selling for twice the listed US price on the back cover. It’s kind of a drag when you see something you want to buy but can’t bring yourself to blowing that much money, but hey, as if I need more junk hanging around my cabin.
That night was nothing eventful, and come to think of it, maybe that was the night of the guest entertainer I mentioned above. Either way, that’s about all there is to tell, so thanks for reading my posts about next to nothing and keep checking back!
