Finally! A kiosk that will let me access blooger without it being blocked as a porn site or as a spam site! I made it to Oslo and the trip was not as bad as I thought it would be. Norway is green and full of trees. Oslo as a city is rather boring but I think I have made the most of it, using the hop on hop off bus! Norway sort of reminds me of Russia with the high rate of drug use and alcohol among the 12 year old and up set. I didn`t see any 8 year old drunks but the young teens were all passed out on the streets with their bottles. The herion junkies kept waking me up with their fights and initial happiness at being high. I finally fell asleep around 430 am as all the druggies were passing out or staggering home and the street became quiet. My hotel room was right on a main street so I heard a lot! I have pictures that I can post when I gget home. Oslo looks peaceful and quiet but it is not.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
