1) It was hard
2) It was pouring rain
I did my best, but ended up walking/running up the mountain. Shannon was smart enough to stay home and pack. After I got back from my jog, I had to blow dry my clothes so I could put them in my backpack. I am not a smart man.
We hit the breakfast buffet and headed to the train station. It was a short walk, so we didn’t have any issues getting there. We were quite glad to have upgraded our seats; the train was comfortable and that free hot chocolate hit the spot. The trip was 7 or 8 hours, but the time really flew by. The scenery was amazing, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, and trees as far as the eye could see.

We arrive in Oslo in late afternoon. We stopped at the tourist stand outside the train station and made the walk to our hotel. The walk was straight down the main walking street, so it was nice, albeit a little further than anticipated. And we got a little lost, which made it seem further. Luckily, we saw a TGI Fridays and a Hard Rock. Awesome. We did not eat at either.

It was starting to get quite dark and we were quite hungry, so we headed out of the park and back towards the hotel. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday night, so most restaurants were closed. Luckily for us, Peppe’s Pizza was still open for business. We went in, split a salad and an appetizer platter (featuring meatballs!), had a couple drinks, and headed out. We stopped at a few little bars on our way back to the hotel, which we once again, had trouble finding, but we got there. Not surprisingly, we had no trouble finding the bars.
