We caught a train at a small station near Gunnar and Solveig's town, and rode eight hours to Oslo. The Scandinavians put a lot of their resources into children. The train had a special car for families, with a built-in play structure, and a DVD player showing kids' programs. Lulu and Frances spent several hours in it.
Oslo is beautiful. We're staying in a pension (shared bathroom down the hall) right across from the park that surrounds the royal castle. It was great for Lulu and Frances to run around in the park after the long train ride. For dinner we had sandwiches at a deli down in the heart of town, which was thronged with people dressed up to go out on Saturday night. When it came time for ice cream, we each ordered only one scoop, butt the clerk gave us extra big ones.
