So I made it to Oslo, Norway on the fifth day after hitting Swedish soil and it was great to take a shower after some extended camping. Being clean is great. Norway, the Saudi Arabia of Europe with its massive oil reserves, is really beautiful. The ride from the border to Oslo felt like a 1960īs movie set in Vermont in the autumn, with flaming yellow clusters of birches, beeches and oaks, brisk fall air, and country roads scented with chimney smoke and only the occasional passing car. The night before Oslo I slept in the Norweigan Wood(s), carpeted with a soft moss, and was only awoken once to the sound of a quiet whirring, which reminded me of the dangers of alien abduction as a lone camper. I hear they look for those types of situations. No witnesses. But this is a picture of downtown Oslo, which was a little chilly at night. Overall, the weather has been warmer than I expected, so I am hoping that trend continues when I head further north. (10-21-04)
