We got to the airport at about 3pm on Wednesday June 29th. Arriving three hours early, we sat in the rocking chairs and each read. I read "The Da Vinci Code". We had Mc Donald's for dinner, which strangely enough had a credit card machine. We finally got to board the plane and it took off on time. Before we left, we were asked to change seats so that a family of four could sit together. The flight attendant gave us a bottle of wine for switching. After dinner we watched the movie, "In Good Company”. Finally all of the children on the flight went to sleep, so we were able to continue our books. We landed in Amsterdam at about 7am local time. We went through customs fairly quickly and got a new stamp in our passports. When we boarded the plane we were able to get a row to our selves. We took off at about 8:30 and continued our books. We landed in Norway at about 10 and collected our luggage. We exchanged our cash for Kroners and got our train ticket’s. We went down stairs and boarded the train to Oslo. The train ride was nicer then when we came here in January. Everything was green and flowery.
We got in to Oslo at about 11 were we found a taxi to take us to the hotel. The day before we flew we found out that the guy in our apartment had not moved out yet so we had to stay in a hotel for the night. We took a shower and then we crashed. We fell asleep at about noon and woke up at midnight. When we woke up it was still light out. Apparently the sunsets just below the horizon making it look like early morning all night. We spent the night finishing our books, and watching local TV. The hotel served breakfast at 7, so off we went for a meal of waffles and eggs. We then walked for about an hour to Troll Tech to pick up our apartment keys. Now armed with our keys, we walked to the apartment and took a look around before we walked back to our hotel. We got all our bags and called a taxi to pick us up. We spent the next three hours unpacking our four suitcases an exploring all the nooks of our apartment. Almost everything made it ok. The nail polish remover leaked (luckily I packed it inside a plastic bag), and the glass in one of the frames broke. We went down the street and found a grocery store. We bought milk, bananas, soap, and frozen pizza. We ate the pizza for dinner wile watching "The Simpson’s", in English. We then crashed at about 6 pm
