OT: Scandinavia

[mwulf]

Going in late May Early June. Has anyone taken the train from Bergen to Oslo or Oslo to Stockholm? Have to book both. Research says the Bergen Oslo route is about as scenic as it gets. Wondering if I anyone has done this and any tips

Stockholm - was a lot of fun. I saw Clutch play there and before the show I had some good IPAs and pizza at Omnipollos hatt. I stayed near T-Centralen. Walk around Gamla Stan, get on a boat/ferry for great views. Also the Vasa Museum was pretty cool, reminded me of the Goonies.

The Nobel Prize Museum had an MLK exhibit and it was trippy seeing 60's Americana in Sweden.

Oslo - Only there a night, stayed at Christiania Teater and had a hell of a time at the Palace Grill.

Bergen - The only time I was near Bergen was during the Penguin Missile tests, had to ice a female Soviet Spy in 1970...

It was fun, English is widely spoken, my bank card worked flawlessly, nice public transportation, I wonder if they still bring out a handheld point-of-sale machine for every purchase, that was interesting.

Yule love it!
