Snowy Norway - Memoirs of a drunkard

Thanks to Ryanair,
we got our ass off to Norway for a short wkend
for pure 26 fucking euros!!!

So right after we touched down,
our Couchsurfing host Terje picked us up
and off we went to his house to party!
Couchsurfing is a great idea,
you meet locals, get to stay at their place,
try Norwegian food n have the greatest time ever! :)

Terje was such a superb host,
his apartment looked right outta an IKEA catalogue!
Aft some drinks, we were lk long-lost pals. lol.
we got freaking drunk, ok i got crazily drunk
from the lethal Absinte n spanish brandy
and puked alll over his beautiful parquet flooring (how embarrassing!)

Terje n his huge collection of alcohol!

me n Melinda completed wasted
she cleaned my puke!! awww that's what friends are for.. lol

them in his deck!
freakin cool balcony, all filled with pure snow..

more drinking...

Next day, all hungover,
we wondered the streets of Oslo.
It was all snowy, white n tranquil
Scandinavian beauty.
we explored the Viking Ship Museum
(where i spent most of the time bent over the toilet bowl)
n chilled out on the tram,
nursing our hangovers. hee..

the Vigeland Park.
Sprawling park filled with bronze statues
from a famous artist..

Night scene.
we just chilled at a cosy bar..peace n relaxation..
we rarely do that in Spain,
cos all the bars here are always filled to the bream,
maximum noise level!

Harbour of Oslo.
Terje's neighbourhood.

Terje's apartment.
Typical Norwegian breakfast - sourcream porridge.
View from his deck.

SUNNY!
I loved how u just step into the white snow right outta the front door..
ahhhh...pure white snow everywhere..

a superb view of the Oslo Fjord.
A fjord is basically a bay surrounded by small steep-sloped islands
it was such a pity we cldn't go on a boat ride
along the world-famous Norwegian fjords...
they only operate in summer..
the clear blue sky, reflected on the calm n peaceful lake.

We took the metro all the way up to the mountain..
(only 30mins from the centre - state of the art technology)

Terje brought his sledges for us to play!!!

the view along the sleding slopes..
i had imagined just sliding down small slope (like in Granada)
but no wayyy, this was wayyyy impressive!
an entire route consisting of bends, slopes watever u can find
to make the whole Sledding experience fast n exciting!

my first real sledding experience! :)
the one in Granada didnt count :P

Holmenkollen Ski Jump.
the Winter Olympics took place here.
the slope was almost vertical!

another view of the entire Oslo fjord n surroundings

Soaking up the sun amidst the snow..
ahhh saying gdbye to Winter Wonderland..
it was a fantastic trip,
we made a new friend, who made our trip sooo authentic
n a true travelling experience.
