I am in Oslo, at a cybercafe in the train station. The internet access on the ship is 55 cents a minute and very slow, here it's super fast and 3 dollars an hour. Unfortunately, neither place lets me plug in a USB cable, (not that I blame them....) so I can't share any photos yet. I do have tons.
I'm having a pretty good time. My cabin is spacious for one, (but would be cramped for 2). The food, while not fabulous is fine. Though I did have some delicious herring.... The knitting classes are fun, and the other knitters are mostly a blast. This is our first port of call, and we only have 6 hours here. Luckily, downtown Oslo is pretty compact. There is at least one shoe store I may do myself some damage at, and a yarn store I have yet to find. I may go to the national gallery or the viking museum, but I am still not sleeping very well, and lose focus easily. Jet lag turns out to be far easier to get over when you're 20 then when you're 50. I keep waking up in the middle of the night wanting dinner. (It's 9 hours later here, so 2 AM is my dinner time back home).
Tomorrow Arhus, Denmark. The next day Berlin. With any luck I'll find somewhere to plug in my camera and let you all see what I'm doing. (We all only read blogs for the photos, anyway, right?) A blogger should travel with her own netbook. Now I know.

Back in town again, first internet access in days, and once again, the first thing I want to know from the giant electronic web of inter-informatication is how the heck is Elaine doing in Europe! So glad you've been posting. Please keep them coming. I'm sure I'm not the only one reading.
