Bergen to Oslo
Up early for our train trip from Bergen to Oslo, we arrived at the platform along with a lot of other obvious tourists who were there to take what is said to be one of the most picturesque train trips in the world.
The views were definitely stunning, though we did have an issue with the carriage in that there was a problem with the air conditioning and it started getting very hot. The upside of this though was that some people were relocated to other seats, meaning we could spread out and both have a window seat.
We arrived in Oslo mid-afternoon, with just a short walk from the station to our hotel. K rested for a while (train travel can be very tiring!) while M went exploring, passing a civil protest outside the town hall and ending up a Slottsparken, the gardens surrounding the Royal Palace.
M had heard of this park before, as it was the location where Hank Von Hell had met his untimely demise just the year before. M searched the gardens to see if there was any sort of marker or tribute to Hank, but couldn't find anything, probably just as well because Hank wasn't exactly what you'd call a perfect role model.
From there M wandered back to the hotel, via the harbour and the famous Opera House, all the while scouting for a nice place to take K to dinner that wasn't too far from the hotel. Fortunately there were some nice restaurants near the railway station, so that's where we ended up later that evening for a nice Italian meal.
