Oslo, Norway

13-15 September

Got on the boat at 4 on Friday and went straight to the bar, we got drinks and enjoyed the deck as we departed from the Copenhagen harbor! We bought some champaign and chocolate and found a table at the cute bar and lounge place where this guy was signing and playing his guitar. He was  playing all the best songs, we decided to relax, drink and play cards while we listened to him sing some of the best songs from the 80s and 90s. We played this game called trump that one of my friends taught us, it was so much fun, we seriously played all night. Towards the end of the game, these two guys that spoke danish came over to us and gave us $50 worth of vouchers for drinks at the bar! At first we had no idea what it was, they just handed us two pieces of paper, and smiled and walked away. We were so excited when the waiter told us that it was drink vouchers. They were good for the whole weekend so we decided to save them for the next night because we wanted to be good and rested for our day in Oslo the next morning.

Oslo was so much fun! We got off the boat right at 9:45 so we could have the whole day in the city. We went to an awesome brunch place and had a delicious sandwich.

We walked all over, through beautiful parks and castles and parliament buildings and museums! It was incredible. But I have to say, I think my favorite part was the food festival we stumbled upon.  We were heading back towards the city center and saw everyone eating these yogurts and we were looking for food to bring back on the  boat for dinner so we asked this guy where he got the yogurt and he said it was free at the food festival; we were immediately interested so be directed us around the corner where we saw about 500 white tents.


We walked into the vestal and seriously every tent was giving out free samples! The food was incredible! We tried about 20 different kinds of cheese and meats and then everything from  biscotti's, to sausages, to local honey and fresh homemade apple juice. It was all in incredible! I even tried moose meat and chocolate creme brulee . It was the perfect way to end a great trip to Oslo. We got back on the boat and sailed back to Copenhagen! That night we were playing on getting dressed up and partying hard but we had so much fun last night we decided to do the same thing, we bought a few bottles of wine and some more tolberone chocolate and we drank and  played cards. It was the most perfect weekend getaway! and not to brag but the whole trip: two nights on a cruise, alcohol, food, full day in Oslo-everything included, total came out to be $78.

Couldn't be happier. Great trip with great friends-life couldn't be better.
