Since we have people coming from different directions, we met at my office near Dulles and Ubered from there – once at the airport we got off to a bad start. Unexpectedly long line as Icelandic Air was changing planes (757 to 737) which caused issues as they required everyone to go to the counter while concurrently Alex realized that she had left her phone at my office and had to uber back and get it and return while we waited in line. We ended making it to the gate with time to spare but the plane change led to me getting moved from an extra legroom to middle seat in the back of the plane – luckily it was near Alex and she switched. Once in Oslo, picked up the van and found the AirBNB and checked in – no problems.
Oslo very accessible as we spend the day putting over 20,000 steps through town. Perfect weather and daylight until after 10pm. We didn’t see anything especially different, just a nice northern European city. Oslo is filled with world class museum’s and palaces, but with the spectacular weather and not a lot of time, we opted to stay outside and explore the City. We did stop by the gift shop of the Nobel Peace Prize (not to be confused with the Noble Prize that used to be given out locally) and it would have been interesting had we been there during open hours.
Short visit to Oslo as our focus for the trip was outdoor places to see.
