Oslo, Day 2--Picspam 1!
So, the brother is out and about again, and I have pirated some laptop time--and discovered that he downloaded some pictures already from today! So, totally pirating some of THOSE to post and spam you all with. ;)
Today we went to the World War II Resistance Museum and Akershus (a park overlooking Oslo fjord where the museum is and where the cannons were fired from during the invasion), as well as the City Hall and down Karl Johan Gate, which is the street the Palace is on. Then we went to the train station, which is also a mall.
The brick building on the corner--Clarion Hotel Royal Christiania--is where we're staying; this is taken from the train station.
Edit: Or not, if the picture decided not to upload. >_< I have not the patience to fix it now. Ah well, I tried.
This is Karl Johan Gate (which is the name of the street), and the Palace at the end.
This is a view of Oslo fjord and the harbor--Brygge--from Akershus, where the museum is.
In other news, apparently am incapable of writing in a notebook by hand. Will try to remedy this, if I don't fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow, which is a VERY REAL possibility. =P Jet-lag does suck.
Also, it's almost 11 pm, but the sun is out and it's gorgeous. This midnight sun thing is awesome, but does not help convince my internal clock that it's not 3 in the afternoon! ;)
