Norway Day 4

Monday...And again we weren't early risers...We had hoped to get into Oslo on the train in the morning but didn't make it. Gunhild and I had had quite the adventure late on Sunday night trying to get tickets for this! There is a new ticketing system. The first station we went to the first ticket machine wasn't working, we tried the one on the second platform which allowed us to buy ONE ticket and then refused a second one because the credit card was a duplicate. Next station, platform 1 allowed us ONE ticket and the second platform took the credit card and didn't produce a ticket!

What we DID have planned today was lunch with Oncle Svein and Tante Reidun at their apartment. Svein picked us up from Jar station and drove us there. Solveig and Haaken were also there and we feasted on open-face sandwiches which Sean enjoyed immensely. After having been there a few minutes Svein brought in another gentleman and asked Randi if she knew who he was. Randi was baffled until she dragged up the name 'Gunnar?...' who she'd last seen when she was about 6!

Randi's Norwegian proved up to the task and she seemed to understand most of what Svein had to say! And his English was pretty good toom plus Solveig and Haaken to help out.
