The Ryanair Rygge airport was closer to Oslo that I expected bout an hour to central station. We were lucky to get there considering the weather in dublin, there was more snow in Dublin than Oslo!! Nonetheless it was Freezing -14celcius, maybe the wrong time of year to go it is amazing how things change and things stay the same visited my old abode, and office, and the Palace, dinner in Egon and TGIs (had to be done). Met some nutcases over for the concerts, women of a certain age.
Aker Brygge for dinner and some bars, then met up with old boss Jarle and his drunken companions... ended up making him miss the ferry and heading to 3brodre and talking about old times, very old places we were in! Should have stayed in aker brygge.
Got up to go on a bus tour which seemed not to run at times that suited us, also we missed the boat tour by some 15mins either we heard wrong or were told wrong!
Went up to holmenkolen but so cold we went up to a chalet for food, had to get the bus since the t-bann was out of action. Grunerlokka seemed the place to be later, but after 2 bars, we adjourned to the post gig crowd and their singing of a-ha songs. Ended up in a depressing blues bar....
Missed opportunities, missed ferry, missed boat tour, train not running the story of the trip. But a nostalgic trip reminded me of the good days I had there.
