We knew that Oslo would be expensive so we planned on a very short stay there. So on the 18th, Pepper, Jordan, and I were up a bit early for a vacation and hitting the last sights we wanted to catch in Norway.

First we went to Akershus Festning a medieval castle which allowed for Jordan to see more cannons and weaponry. This castle had lots of neat rooms and was beautifully furnished.

From there we walked to the harbor and caught a ferry to see the Viking Ship Museum and the Museum of Cultural History. We found the cultural history site first and I was most interested in seeing the stave church.

At the viking Ship Museum we met back up with Kevin and Trina. It just so happened that the 18th of May is International Museum Day and we were admitted for free! The ships were pretty cool. We hoofed it back to the harbor to catch the next ferry. Unfortunately we just missed the boat. So we sat down and ordered some nachos while waiting for the next one. We were starting to get nervous about the timing and catching our ride to the airport but we made it without a problem!
