Day 1 Norway - Tuesday, July 2, 2019

The flight to Oslo was really great. Because there were so many jump ropers on the flight, I was upgraded to the SAS comfort category and had my Prosecco & Wine complimentary. Does age have anything to do with it, because I'll take it. Norwegian customs was a breeze, she asked why I was visiting and I said the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, she looked at the screen and said "oh, you've been here before, have a good time" and BOOM right through.

I found the Flytoget very easily and got into Central Station, but then the bus connection to Kongsberg was very tricky and pushing those suitcases was a chore. But the ride was beautiful and Knut met me at the station.

We took an afternoon walk through Kongsberg, viewed the Jazz Festival sites and had a cappuccino at the Quality Hotel Grand. We then went to Lågdalsmuseet to see Kjersti Rahbek Hvamb's exhibit of Kongsberg houses, acrylic paint on Plexiglass. The one of Dyrmyr was so amazing. She also makes these in miniature attached to a pavement stone from town. The walk home was via the first bridge over Lågen and up the steepest hill in all of the town, which nearly killed me. Thank God I got two meditations in today, or I'd be dead as a doornail.
