First a picture of the last swim, I couldn't get it onto the previous page. On the way out Jim showed me a sign that said 'No Camping', too late for us. But he admitted that he had seen it the previous day, but never told me. Well, what do we expect from Jim the anarchist.The train ride was an absolute joy. Beautiful and stunning scenery all the way to Oslo. For Oslo we had decided to find a cheap hotel near to the town centre. That makes it much easier to see the city and it gives us a chance to clean up for the home journey.
Residence was taken up in the Anker Hotel for 307 Kr per person. After shower and changing cloth we went back into town for sightseeing. I actually, for the first time this holiday, went in shorts. It was hot and humid. The highlight of the town visit were shopping for presents and having a hamburger at MacDonnalds for a 'I-can't-remember horific price'.
The night was long because Jim insisted on watching some stupid mars landing film on TV into the early hours of the morning.
We met again at the railway station in the afternoon and took a hike from there back to the hotel to pick up our rucksacks. And then walk back again following the river Akerselva to the station. An observation on the social structure of Oslo. Alcohol is very expensive and I was surprised to find a collection of alcies along the river with ample supply of booze, most of them totally pissed out of their skull. It looked like this was their usual Saturday afternoon activity.
