The Trek to Oslo

Thursday, August 16

After the great escape from the island of Vestagoy, we hopped on the Hurtigruten again and rode it all night to Mo i Rana... We didn't book any cabins so we woke up pretty early because the staff was vacuuming the lounge.

Here are some photos after breakfast on the Hurtigruten






When we first woke up, it looked like this:


Moments later:


Then back to:











They looked like toy boats, but there were real people on them... tiny people.








More "real" people.

Upon arrival in Mo i Rana, there were some local children dressed in traditional garb playing music to entertain us. What lovely parents they must have.



We had to wait a while to catch the bus to some other place.


Nature and junk.







Then we got the train...and ran into those American guys again.

On the train..



After a brief stop in Trondheim - the city we had to skip due to the mishap in Kiruna, we got on the night train to Oslo...capital of Norway.

WOW fancy night trains. No wonder they're so expensive. Naturally we didn't check in and there was a whole karfaful and they let us on anyway.
