Good morning from the North
I am Solo Traveling to Oslo, Norway. Today, I flew cross-country on American Airlines. From JFK, I flew Norse Airways into Oslo, Norway, landing at noon Oslo time on the 24th. It was a non-eventful trip, besides two crying babies across the Atlantic.
And so it begins

The FRAM Museum on Bygdoy
The Fram Museum tells the story of Norwegian polar exploration. It is located on the peninsula of Bygdøy in Oslo, Norway. Fram Museum is in an area with several other museums, including the Kon-Tiki Museum, the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, the Viking Ship Museum, and the Norwegian Maritime Museum.
This Viking boat was buried around 900 AD and excavated in 1880. It was restored in the 1930s to its presumed original form and consists predominantly of original parts.

I highly recommend this fabulous Norwegian Botanical Gin. Add a twist of orange and a martini glass, and you have a lovely mixed drink.
I’ll return to Norway during the winter and visit Oslo once again. Then I’ll take the train to Bergen and Tromso.
The people of Norway are beautiful. Locals describe their city as safe: “You don’t even have to lock your doors.”
