I love Oslo, Norway!!!

I am sitting here in my I Love Oslo t-shirt. I can't believe I was there and I know that I am very fortunate that I had the opportunity to go to Oslo, Norway for the weekend!!! This city was something else and to be honest it was a breath of fresh air to get away from Germany for the weekend. I loved the fashion there... and the girls actually wear BALLET FLATS. (In Germany everyone wears trainers and I don't understand.....???! Basically, I would fit in well in Norway. I wear ballet flats all the time and the Germans always question me if my feet are cold... and my answer is always NO. lol) The men were also very well dressed and very nice looking!!! :-D
We paid 16 euros return with Ryanair-- how good is that?! We flew from Memmingen (Munich West) to a small airport about 1 hour outside of Oslo. We had to take a bus to the city center then take another bus to our youth hostel.
We arrive at our youth hostel, and then get shown to our room. When the receptionist at the youth hostel is walking us to our room he explains that this building is a school. He then unlocks our room and we notice that we are sleeping in a classroom??! There are beds stuck in this room with a chalkboard on the wall and tables stuck in the corner. Let's just say I was a bit shocked! We all had a laugh about it and then went on our merry little way to explore the city of OSLO!
We get to Oslo and we walk around a bit... we see the city hall and go in some souvenir shops. Of course, we were all starving so we decided to check out a Norwegian McDonalds. I bought a cheeseburger and fries... We then notice that there are a bunch of people gathering around the harbor and we want to check it out! There was a big concert going on, free of charge and they had some really good dancers. We walked around the harbor for a bit and took a ton of pics... I was just enjoying looking at all the boats and the lovely islands in the distance. Then we walked up to the top of the hill and noticed they had a public viewing from the England v. Algeria game and very few people were cheering for England.... but of course I was!!!!! We then walked around while it was tipping it down with rain. Of COURSE I had forgotten my umbrella at the youth hostel and had to walk around with just a fleece and no hood. Oh well... I managed to warm up when we found another McDonalds and I got a hot chocolate. We then walked around the place and went to a karaoke bar and had something to drink. Then it was about 11 PM and it was still light outside!!!! Everyone was quite tired from the whole day so we went back to the youth hostel and slept (in our classroom) til 7:00 the next day.
Saturday:
We woke up at about 7 AM to get breakfast. Once again, like the Germans, the Norwegians eat bread and "lunch meat" for breakfast. They had fish in a tube...and weird cereal... but I did see cornflakes!! They also had more normal things like eggs. Thank goodness for that! We then went to the city for the day. Our youth hostel was about 20 min ride from the center so it wasn't that bad of a ride. We just walked around... and it rained again. We saw the city center and did our own thing... we saw a castle... and therefore walked around did some shopping and took it easy. We walked up on the opera house and saw the views from the top. It was a tiring day because we woke up so early.... and we stayed in Oslo til about 11 PM and then had to wake up at 530Am on Sunday.
