Sunday Funday

Oslo has the greatest public transportation system!  So far we have been getting around without a car just fine. It's so easy using the trains, busses, street trams and, most recently, tried out the city bikes. Throughout the city there are stations that have bikes for rent (3 hours max). You pick it up at point A and drop it off at point B. You pay either a day fee or a season fee which is good for multiple months. I've been wanting to try them out, so last Sunday we bought a season card (you get your money's worth with just 2 uses compared to a steep one day price) and took the bikes out to Bygdøy. All of the tourist museums (Norwegian Maritime, Kon Tiki, Viking Ship and Fråm museum) are located on the Bygdøy peninsula as well as the king's vacation home. It was pretty busy once we were on the peninsula but it was a beautiful ride in!





   That's a restaurant!


Case is in his second week of Norwegian classes and today was my last day of my first level. No break for me as I start the next class on Monday! I'll have a different teacher and a new group of people so hopefully I'll be able to make some new friends!
