Here's Bruce with our bags ready to jump on the fast train that will take us from the Oslo airport to the heart of the city. So sorry this picture is fuzzy. I am not sure how this happened but at least you can see the clean and shiny place. Wow. It was great to be out of the grit of St. Petersburg. This was August 14.Oslo Airport Gardermoen is 50 km (31 miles) north of the city. Keep in mind that a kilometer = .621 miles. It was really hard for me to do the calculations in my head all the time so I just doubled the number and we always got there faster than I had imagined.
Also you need to know that one US Dollar = 5.49 Norway Kroner. The train ride was $137 Kroner or about $25 USD each. This was just the first time we experienced Norwegian sticker shock. We knew this would be the case so we were ready for it.
