Greetings from Oslo!!!

Well, we made it. It was a long flight, but for the most part not too bad. We made our connection in Frankfurt and got into Oslo around 12pm local time. As I try to type this on a Norwegian keyboard, I realize we've been awake for about 26hrs. Ugh. We're trying to stay awake here until 9pm local time so that tomorrow goes better.

Unfortunately, although we're in Oslo, we're not exactly sure where Jenn's bag is. Mine showed up fine, but it appears that our flight between Frankfurt and Oslo had too much baggage and Jenn's got bounced. We're hoping that it will show up later on tonight. The airline promised to deliver it to the hotel.

We've already decided to stay one more night in Oslo, if only because we couldn't get a train reservation to Bergen until Tuesday the 15th. Oh well. The plus side is that we are assured a window seat on what is reported to be the most spectacular train ride in all of Europe. We are also fully booked for the Norway in a Nutshell tour. Fun!

Our first outing in Oslo was a nice walk in the sunshine, at first. After we got many blocks from our hotel, a thunder shower went through. We both got soaked and since Jenn doesn't have any cloths she is now wearing some of mine... :-)

More soon...

Hi guys, we were all wondering if you made it out. I heard on NPR on the way home last night that international flights weren't getting out. So glad you did.

My sympathies to Jenn, handwashing sucks :(

Have a great day recovering from jet lag and I hope the rest of your trip is more fun!!!!!
