~~Norway: March 5-10 ~~
Well, we said we would start going back to fill in the missing pieces, and my parents really wanted me to do Norway, so here it is:)!I arrived in Oslo to do a few interviews, explore the city a bit and then fly to Stavanger to meet Nate (we had not seen eachother for ~ 3 weeks). Stavanger was fantastic! We stayed in Tones house and took a ferry boat to Skudneshaven to see the place where my great-grandparents grew up- it was justs fantastic! So amazingly beautiful. Sometimes you feel like your soul is at home in a place you have never been before and we felt a bit like that. Too bad it is so bloody expensive!
We flew back to Oslo on Saturday night and spent the night and next day with Nate's friend, Andres, who he knew from Australia. On Sunday, we had lunch with my relatives (pictured in the first picture below). The last time I had seen them was when I was around 3, so it was quite a joyous reunion! Afterwards, we went to one of the biggest events of the year in Oslo-Holmenkollen ski jump. We were able to see it before it gets torn down and completely rebuilt. On Monday, I had an interview that Nate attended in an amazing home in Oslo before checking out the Viking Ship Museum to check out how I get some of my hot blooded stubbornness that got me through construction:)!
