Norway

September 16-27, 2023

Got into Oslo at night, stayed in runway hotel.
Flew to Tromso and stayed in Airbnb where nothing worked.
The Perspective museum. Very sad.
Arctic museum. WW2 stories and Sami stories were very sad.
Polar museum. Animal hunting made me sad. Queer history in Norwegian history. Finally something that didn’t make me sad.
Got on ferry at 11:45pm. Upgraded cabin made me very happy.
Too many clouds to see northern lights. Up every couple hours to check.
