Journal Entry:
Tove and I spent the afternoon at the Vigeland museum at Frognerparken.After dark we went up to Trollslottet, a temporary exhibit up above Holmenkollen (the ski jump). It was extremely foggy, and the exhibit was a frozen wonderland of Christo-esq cloth mountains billowing in the wind. The paintings were displayed in Glass walls set up between the mountains. The paintings were of Antarctic landscapes, and the cold, ice, frozen trees, fog and wind all contributed greatly to the effect (I found the display much more interesting than the works themselves). Afterwards we went for apple pie and hot chocolate at a nearby restaurant.

Afterwards I wasn't hungry but I still managed to eat a couple Pølse with lompe (the Norwegian version of the hotdog, but oh so much better).

Went to Axel's flat for a pre-party. Had a great time and got to see everyone from the cabin again. After much merriement (and drinking - I am definitely developing a taste for vodka Russian), it was time to head out. Alberth insisted I visit his favorite bar first, so him, Susann, Christian and I headed out to the Mini Bar, which was nice, crowded, and well mini. After we went and met the rest of the gang at a dance club, Neon. After closing (about 3:30?) it seemed like a good idea to head back to Axel's. Luckily there wasn't much alcohol left. Christian passed out and I took a couple of pictures for vengance. Got home at about 6.
