We woke up at 5!!!!!! So I had like 3/4 hours of sleep. We had to drive back to the airport. It was pitch dark and the sound was Taz and I singing in the car. We did not see a car for 55 minutes! There were no northern lights last night nor through the drive. I pulled out the map to see where we were conidering we had to get gas (below a quarter and we needed to know where the next town was). We stopped in Borgarnes and got our gas, Taz got coffee and a pastery and I had my fruit bars. As we got to the city we stopped at a grocery store which wasn't open. We went back to get a little more gas, we just wanted to use a credit card and went to three gas stations and then finally went back to the first one- he slid his card, we quoted a price and he watched us till we were done. We got to the airport and couldn't check in so we planned Norway. Taz could not take my extra box of luggage so we fit it into my duffle bag and hers. I checked into my flight ( we are on seperate flights), We used the last of our change to buy bread/crackers and chips for lunch. We went through security and I got a beep for the first time and got checked and was fine. We decided to meet in baggage claims. We arrived to Norway and had to convert 40 dollars to N.Kr because we couldn't get a metro ticket otherwise; we only got 140 kr :O Anyways we also got our train ticket.
We get to Oslo Central, sent a text to our host who told us where to go next. Onward. We met with him, and then his friend and brother at a bar. I got a coke. We chatted about the cultural differences of U.S. and Norway. We also discussed politics (socialist vs. democratic), health care, education, and units of measurement. They took us to a grocery store later around 2130 and we got smoked salmon, eggs, and soy milk (yea). We made scrambled eggs with salmon and had our bread from yesterday and I had some soy milk and then we slept!
