Myself, Cher Guevara and Giles flew to Oslo for a little Scandinavian break. We flew Ryanair to Oslo Torp which is so far away it’s practically in Finland!
We had a lovely hotel called the Royal Christiania which was very posh altogether and maybe too posh had we brought any riff raff with us which is always a possibility where me organisin’ a trip is concerned. It was lovely and central and very tastefully decorated! At least that’s what Cher said, like I wouldn’t know! I think dado rails are tasteful and Cher tells me they’re common. Me ma wouldn’t be impressed. Needless to say, not a dado rail to be found!
Again it’s the same as the drink BUT Seven Eleven to the rescue! On the hot counters they sell the likes of pizza and jambons and they don’t cost an arm and a leg. It’s fantastic. There was an incident where we went to McDonalds and spent €12 or the Norwegian version of it on a Big Mac Meal! A SMALL ONE! Needless to say, Cher vowed not to eat until we got to Sweden. And she didn’t.
In your hotel room with a naggin that ya got in duty free! I won’t lie, Oslo is the dearest place I’ve ever been to and drinkin’ costs an actual BOMB! Giles got a bottle of beer for nearly €9 or whatever that is Norwegians! That’s dearer than Dublin! There are nightclubs but extortion is the best word to describe them. So Giles says. Don’t bother.
There’s actually a few things to do in Oslo. Ya could visit the Queen’s Castle which is really nice and has a lovely view of the whole city. Obviously shoppin’ wasn’t something that I would advise even though we all know it’s clearly my favourite thing to do while on a holiday! That and going to theme parks although there were none of those! We did find a market though. It was cheap enough but still, ya could probably buy a 3 bed semi in Stillorgan for less.
Bring a severe amount of money. The entire GDP of Tunisia might do. So Giles says. What’s a GDP?
