Oslo: Vigelandsparken





Motivated by the breakfast to be provided by the hostel and fuelled by hunger, we woke up bright and early. Relatively anyway. Haha. It had a good variety with all sorts of jam and drinks. After a filling breakfast, it was off to Vigelandsparken, reputed for its 112 sculptures and statues. Spent hours going trigger happy before having to make our way to the Central Station in search of free left baggage which was nowhere to be found. Did last minute shopping at Karls Johan before our bus to Moss Airport, Rygge. En route was my first time seeing such a huge moon hung so low in the sky and I was in for more.

Rygge was in a much better shape than expected. Fast forward the embarrassing moment at the security check, we met the Korean (then, unknown) girl from our hostel in Oslo. The flight was fast and we landed even before I could finish reading the Ryanair in-flight magazine. Shared airport transfer tickets with the Korean girl because of the 2 for 1 discount. The sky was so clear that night, the bus ride became my first experience star gazing until I fell asleep.

An hour later we were at the Central Train Station. Bought dinner before venturing into the cold again to find our hostel in the Old Town. A "trail of love letters" was left for a as the reception was closed by time we reached. Found ourselves in a attic room with a waterfront view and it was late by the time we bathed and slept.
