September 28, 2009: Oslo to Copenhagen

We got up bright and early and had breakfast because it was tourist day! We started by taking the bus to the outside of town to see the Viking Museum. The Viking Museum had three mostly intact ships on display. The ships were constructed in the 900s and used as burial ships for some important people. The ships were recovered in the 1960s almost perfectly preserved. It was pretty impressive to see this long, narrow wooden ship and think that people used to sail across the North Atlantic in those things. The Vikings were some bad ass people. There were a few artifacts and genetic history of the Vikings on display, but nothing too terribly exciting.

September 27, 2009: Bergen to Oslo

We were heading to Oslo today. It was, of course, raining. I decided it would be a good idea to get up and try to jog up the mountain. That was a bad idea.

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.
