Travels to Norway

Sadly, Glasgow has come and gone. My times there shall not be forgotten, but most certainly missed. I still can't get over how fast everything went.
Between my departure from Scotland and now, I have travelled quite far! I stayed with Nat for a few days, getting myself sorted for my trip with my Uncle :D On the 5th June, we jetsetted to Oslo, Norway. The first day was quite slow, just having a look around the place, figuring out what we wanted to do and getting to grips with our location and the city. The main difference between Oslo and basically anywhere else I have been, is the population. There may be approx 5million people living there, but it's as if they never go outside. I was so shocked by the lack of people walking around on the streets. We also came to realise how expensive everything was going to be, one meal costs around 18GBP...so about 32AUD (SOOOOO MUCH MONEY!!)
We went to a traditional Norwegian restaurant for dinner on our first night to find Reindeer and Whale on the menu. Unable to eat Moby Dick, I chose 'Norwegian meat' instead (later to find out that it was 2 massive patties of beef with ridiculous amounts of onion... weird) Uncle David on the other hand opted for Rudolph...poor Santa is now missing a reindeer :(

Our second day in Oslo called for a ferry trip in and around the Smaller Islands of Oslo. We stopped off at the largest one (which still only took 20mins to walk through to the other end) and trekked around the Islands Coast. It was such a lovely and sunny day, I even got sun burnt, which is way crazy in Norway!!

On our last day in Oslo, we went to the Science and Technology Museum, Viking Museum, Folk Museum, bike rode, walked, bused, trained and trammed around Oslo and to top the day off, flew in a helicopter :D It was such an amazing day. we were so lucky with all the weather, as it stayed sunny the whole time we were there!

Today we flew to Tromso, north of Oslo. It was a frantic rush to the aeroplane as we were running extremely late, but we made it...mainly due to the Indians that were yelling and throwing bags at each other trying to get on the plane which caused a 15minute hold up...
Tromso is for colder, reaching highs of only 9 degrees, and with the ability to see snow capped mountains on the other side of the lake in front of the town (the lake being only 1km wide) I certainly know where the cold winds are coming from!!
The sun doesn't set here funnily enough. In Oslo, the sun set at 10:30 and rose at 4am, but tonight we look forward to the light shining through our window all night long.
In just 2 days time we are going midnight sun sea kayaking. I'm so excited!!! I am so lucky to be able to experience such thing whilst I am away. I makes it even better having my Uncle here to enjoy the times with me!

Only 2 days left in Norway and then off to Hanover in Germany!
