| Me, Vaska and Chloe in Vigeland park |
Po pravici povedano, sploh ne vem kaj je bila prvotna destinacija mišljena. Mislim, da sva samo gledali najcenejšo varianto in slučajno je to bila Norveška. Monika ni želela zraven, ker ima raje Sex and the city lokacije.
In tako najdeva Oslo, let iz Pule, Ryanair, povratna karta reci piši 40€! Hitro še preverimo kaj je zanimivega v Oslu in rezervirava karti! Let the adventure begin!!
1. DAN: ker imam teto v Izoli, sva prejšnji dan prespale pri njej in zgodaj zjutraj odšli proti letališču. Odcep za letališče skoraj zgrešim, ker imajo manjšo tablo na avtocesti, kot pri nas za naselja. Prispeva do letališča, parkiram, malo še počakava in check in!
Let je trajal okoli 2 urci, če me spomin ne vara. Na letalu ne sprejemajo gotovine, vse plačujete s kartico. Pristanemo na letališču Rygee. Tukaj se začnejo prvi problemi. Ni menjalnice! Najbližja je v Oslu. Če ne bi imela Mastercarda bi zmrznile! Odideva s Shutlebusom do železniške postaje. Ze na letališču ti obračunajo in avtobus in vlak, tako, da nema švercanja. Vlak zapustiva v mestu Ski, kjer naju počaka najin gostitelj Reza. Namestiva se pri Rezi, na hitro nama da par koristnih nasvetov in že greva proti Oslu. Ena zanimivost: na vlaku imajo oranžna in črna vrata. Oranžna so za domačine (imajo mesečno karto in ne kontrolirajo), pri črnem vagonu pa hodi kontrolor in pregledajo karte. No midve sva šli kar na oranžne, pač sva turistke in ne veva kako poteka :P.
Prispeva v Oslo in pobereva še francozinjo Chloe, ki bo tudi zraven naju. Za ogled Osla ni veliko časa, ogledale smo si samo operno hišo (Chloe je imela nenormalno težek kovček) in se počasi ponovno vrnile v Ski in počakale Rezo. Večerja in lahko noč!
2. DAN: ravno ta vikend, so imeli delo na železniški progi, zato vlakov ni bilo in so imeli organizirane avtobuse, ki te odpeljejo v Oslo in to ZASTONJ! Kot opravičilo, ker ni vlakov! Opravičilo sprejeto!! Odidemo na ogled centra mesta in lov za Oslo Pass-om...kupimo Oslo Pass 24 ur za okoli 30€. V to ceno imate všteto neomejen prevoz po mestu in ogled muzejev ter galerij in imate 24 ur časa, da si ogledate kar želite.
Zatem z ladjo odidemo na polotok Bygdøy. Kakšne hiše!! In vsaka hiša svoj privez za ladjo.
Naš prvi cilj je bil muzej vikinških ladij. Ladij se ne da opisati z besedami! Enostavno neverjetno! Ladje so 3 in sicer Oseberg, Gokstad in Tune. V muzeju so še razstavljene stvari, ki jo jih našli na ladji...
Naš naslednji muzej je bil Kon-Tiki. Kon Tiki je splav iz slame s katerim so leta 1947 pluli iz Peruja do Polinezije. Plovba je trajala 101 dan in 7000 km. Namen potovanja je bil dokazati, da so južnoameriški staroselci predniki polinezijcev.
Baje je knjiga odlična, ki opisuje začetek ideje o Kon Tiki splavu! Bo potrebno prebrati.
Z ladjo se vrnemo v Oslo in se odločimo za odmor na gradu Akershus. Za ogled se nismo odločile, ker je že bila pozna ura (muzeji so odprti najdlje do 18 ure) in tudi utrujene. Naš zadnji ogled kraljeve palače in nazaj po glavni ulici Karl Johans Gate, mimo parlamenta, kavarnic in trgovinic. Spanje!!!
3. DAN: zadnji dan se odločimo za obisk nacionalne galerije in znamenitega Munchevega dela The scream in Madonne.
Naslednja postaja je bila Vigeland park. Ker so za Norveško značilne nizke temperature, jih tokrat ni bilo. Lani takšen čas je bilo 21°C, zato so se vsi martinčkali na polno! Samo za omembo, včeraj so imeli 8°C. Heh velika sreča! Počasi se izteka tudi naš Oslo Pass in nimamo več časa za muzej sodobne umetnosti...žal. Na koncu še ujamemo zadnje sončne žarke na njihovi promenadi.
4. DAN: zjutraj smo imeli odhod že ob 7 zjutraj. Po pristanku v Puli ugotoviva, da so se ravno ta vikend cene parkirišč dvignile! Še to! Prvotni plan je bil, da še obiščeva Pulo...mhmm obe utrujene sva se vrnili kar proti domu, bilo dovolj hoje po Oslu.
Kaj naj rečem...Norvežani so neverjetno prijazni in umirjeni ljudje! Če opazijo, da imaš težave, se ustavijo in ti pomagajo če lahko. Njihovo znanje angleščine je perfektno! Ženske so prave lepotice! Dolge noge, dolgi blond lasje in modre oči! Tudi moški del, čeprav blondinci niso ravno po mojem okusu. Srajčke, polo majčke, mokasinke, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Loren, Ray Ban, limuzine. Bello!
Še vedno žalujem za kaviarjem, da ga nisem kupila. In izbor lososov v trgovini! To kar imamo mi v trgovinah pod oznako norveški losos, še videlo ni Norveške!
Po mestu boste videli ogromno študentov, ki imajo na sebi hlače različno pobarvane in polepljene. Reza je povedal, da so to zaključni letniki in imajo dovoljenje, da 1 mesec lahko počnejo kar hočejo! In če se odloči, da te bo polil z vodo te pač bo. Vse jim je dovoljeno, brez kazni.
Na vsakem koraku srečaš njihovo zastavo! Ponosni prebivalci.
Cene...heh...kepica sladoleda 4,5€. Kozarec vina 10€. Druga raje nisem več gledala...
Ene nogavice sem si pa le kupila!
Povprečna plača je okoli 4000-4500€. Ampak glede na visoke cene je to premalo.
Izlet z bencinom in parkirnino me je stal okoli 300€. Ni zastonj eno izmed 3 najdražjih mest na svetu. Ponovno je bilo 3 dni premalo in sva izpustili ogromno zanimivih muzejev in galerij. Zoprno je tudi dejstvo, da v hladnejših mesecih (april še spada tja) zaprejo večina muzejev ob 16, le redki so do 18 ure.
Na Norveško se še zagotovo vrnem! Sem jo videla samo en del in sem navdušena totalno! Trolltunga je prvi na seznamu! Naslednjič bi se rada pogovorila s kakšnim domačinom, da mi iz prve roke predstavi njihovo ureditev, prednosti in slabosti.
Pardon za ureditev slik...ne vem kaj jim ni jasno!

ENGLISH VERSION:
Ah yes ... Norway ... it's exactly one year since I returned with Vaska from Oslo ... and after one year we got a smile on our faces and tears in our eyes when we remember this weekend .... crazy beautiful memories.
Honestly, I don't know what was the destination we wanted to visit. I think we were just looking for the cheapest option and incidentally it was Norway. Monika didn't want to come, because she prefers Sex and the city location.
And so we found Oslo flight from Pula, Ryanair, return ticket € 40! Quickly we checked what's interesting in Oslo and made a reservation! Let the adventure begin !!
DAY 1: because I have an aunt in Izola we slept over there and early in the morning we went to the airport. I almost missed the exit to the airport because they have a small sign on the highway, smaller then our tables for the villages.Finally we came to the airport, parked my car and checked in!The flight lasted about 2 hours. On the plane they don't accept cash only card. We landed at the airport Rygge. Here is the first problem. There is no Exchange! The nearest is in Oslo. Thank god I had MasterCard with me! We went with Shuttle bus to the train station. Already you have to pay train at the airport. We left train in Ski, where we waited for our host Reza. He gave us some useful tips and we went to Oslo. One interesting fact: the train is with orange and black door. Orange are for locals (they have a monthly ticket and don't have controller), in black wagon is walking controller and you have to pay for tickets.
We came to Oslo and searched for Chloe, who will stay with us. We didn't have much time in Oslo, we have only looked at the Opera House (Chloe has had abnormally heavy suitcase) and slowly returned to Ski and waited for Reza. Dinner and good night!
DAY
2: just this weekend, they worked on the railroad, so there were no trains but they organized buses to take you to Oslo and for FREE! As an apology, because there are no trains! Apology accepted !! We went on a tour and on a hunt for Oslo Pass ... We bought the Oslo Pass for 24 hours for around € 30. In the price you have included unlimited transportation around the city
and entrance to the museums and galleries and have only 24 hours.
Then we went by boat to the peninsula Bygdøy. What a lovley houses !! And each house has its own mooring for a boat.Our first goal was to visit Viking Ship Museum. Ships can't be described with words! Simply amazing! Ships are 3 and their names are Oseberg, Gokstad and Tune. In the museum there are also exhibited things that they found on board ...Our next museum was Kon-Tiki. Kon Tiki raft is made of straw which sailed from Peru to Polynesia in 1947. The trip lasted 101 days and 7000 km. The purpose of the trip was to prove that the South American are ancestors of Polynesians.Apparently the book is excellent, describing the begining of the idea about Kon Tiki raft!
We went back to Oslo and decided to take a break at the castle Akershus. We didn't decide to take a tour inside because it was already late hour (museums are open until 6 pm) and we were also tired. Our last tour of the Royal Palace and back along the main street, Karl Johans Gate, past the Parliament, cafes and shops. Good night !!!

DAY 3: The last day we decided to visit the National Gallery and the famous Munch's work The Scream and Madonna.
Next stop was the Vigeland Park. For Norway are normal low temperatures, by this time it wasn't so. Last year this time we had 21 ° C! Just to mention, yesterday they had 8 ° C. We were so lucky! Our Oslo Pass came to an end and we have no more time for modern art museum ... Finally we catched the last rays of the sun on their promenade.
DAY 4: in the morning we left around 7 am. After landing in Pula we figure out that precisely this weekend they changed the prices for parking! Great! The original plan was to visit Pula but we were both tired and we returned to Slovenia.
What can I say ... the Norwegians are incredibly friendly and calm people! If they notice that you have a problem, they will stop and help you if they can. Their knowledge of English is perfect! Women are real beauties! Long legs, long blond hair and blue eyes! Even the male part, though blond is not exactly my taste. Polo shirts, moccasins, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Loren, Ray Ban, limousines. Bello!I'm still grieving for the caviar that I didn't bought. And a selection of salmon in the stores! What we have here in the shops under the name Norwegian salmon, that salmon wasn't even near the Norway!In Norway you will see a lot of students who are wearing trousers differently painted. Reza said that this students are in their last semester and are authorized for 1 month and they can do whatever they want! And if they decide to spill you with water that just will. All of them are permitted without penalty.In every corner you can see their flag! Proud residents.Prices ... heh ... one scoop of the ice cream € 4.5. A glass of wine € 10....Very very expensive!
But I bought one socks for me!The average salary is around € 4000-4500. I guess that's not enough despite the prices.Trip with petrol and parking costed me around € 300.

And 3 days was not enough and we missed a lot of interesting museums and galleries. Annoying is the fact that in the colder months (April still belongs
there), most museums are closed at 4 pm, only a few are up to 6 pm.I will definitely go back to Norway! I saw only one part and I'm totally excited! Trolltunga is first on the list! Next time I would like to talk with some locals that way I will have all information about their arrangements, strengths and weaknesses.
Sorry for the picture setup...don't know what is wrong..
