The 7th floor of the cabin is a large activity area, which is a casino. If you enter the door, you need to order a drink for 50dkk. If you make money, you can go to the duty-free shop next to it. This company is really thoughtful, haha. There is free wifi in the cabin. The food in the restaurant is still very good. The lobster in the seafood is similar to Ma Xiao, haha, but the other seafood is not bad.
Just don't waste it. The restaurant opens at 17:30 in the evening. I booked a seat early so I sat directly at the bow. I didn't expect that it would be dark and the curtains would be closed. The waiter took the plates very quickly and didn't give you any time to think. Ice cream Black Angel Helsingborg's New Year's Eve dinner is definitely open around 24:00 Beijing time.
The red wine and seafood buffet plus homemade chocolate black angel were very refreshing. But the boat was shaking a bit. There was only one drink, and more drinks were charged, not unlimited drinking. Because the boat was shaking so much, I would get drunk if I didn't drink. After clinking glasses and eating a few bites, everyone went to the cafe to play cards and meet friends. It was the most pleasant time on the trip.
After a round trip, it was already 10:30. We were exhausted and went back to the cabin to sleep. Although it had its own bathroom where we could take a shower, and it was similar to a sleeper berth on a train, we didn't want to bother with the small space.
I woke up at 2 or 3 o'clock in the night. I was jet-lagged. Maybe I woke up more frequently in the past few months. I continued to sleep and woke up at 6 o'clock on the first day of the Chinese New Year. I opened the cabin door to see the endless black sea, covered with rusty rivets, and waves on the side of the ship. People walking between heaven and earth are really insignificant.
The deck was quiet and deserted, with only the sound of waves hitting my ears. It was still a bit cold. I got up before 6 o'clock in the morning and continued to adjust to the jet lag. I watched the waves on the deck and went upstairs to the restaurant for breakfast. This is a schematic diagram of the activity space on the 7th floor. It can be seen that the facilities are very complete, but it is still recommended to bring more water and snacks before boarding.
The products sold here are more expensive and there are few varieties. The journey of Yunluo and Anchu's encounter. The sea of stars at that time. Sitting on a cruise ship in the North Atlantic on New Year's Day, with the stars and the moon overhead, full of lofty sentiments. The sunrise in the Nordic countries in the distance. Are there whales in the sea? The weather at sea is also unpredictable. Watchtower?
There are also female crew members smoking below, very cool. Facing the magnificent sea, I feel relaxed. Looking up, the sea and sky are one color. The waves at the stern. Cartelo in the duty-free shop. I feel that American Gant is sold quite a lot in Northern Europe. And the price is not high, and there are often discounts. There are still a lot of things, but they are mainly daily brands and non-luxury goods, and the watch is only Longines.
Passing by the town outside. It is really sunny in the east and rainy in the west. After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, I strolled to the deck and took a lot of photos against the sea breeze~ The Norwegian flag fluttered in the wind, the former Viking pirates. Standing on the deck is refreshing, the air and the beautiful scenery. Life is worth it. Beautiful stairs, dragging the luggage to get off the ship at around 9 o'clock in the morning.
The cruise ship arrived at Oslo Port. Oslo is the oldest capital city in Scandinavia. Its name comes from the old Norse, one is "god" and the other is "meadow". At the bow of the Pearl, it is said that there is a round-trip ticket package for the day, including a 7-hour day trip to Oslo. I wonder who would arrange the itinerary like this.
After getting ready, we lined up to get off the ship, carrying our luggage and artifacts. We took a photo with someone after getting off the ship. I felt like a big sister from Hong Kong. We continued to rush to the hotel near the train station because we had to take a train to the airport tomorrow. Looking back at the cruise ship at the pier, we could compare the size.
The hiking route designed for the third day basically circles around the central city. Haha. The windows of buildings in Oslo are obviously half as small as those in Copenhagen. You can see the difference in climate. I dragged my luggage along the muddy road. There were a lot of stones on the ground. I later realized that the small stones were to prevent slipping after freezing.
I took out the offline map and the Oslo map I got on the boat and started looking for a hotel, XPressFortableHotel. There is a chain hotel with the same name. The streets of Oslo seem to be not as clean as those in Copenhagen. I went to the wrong hotel before, which was also called Fortable. After storing my luggage and asking for the wifi password, I found out that I went to the wrong place. It was funny.
But they actually gave me a telenor password, one for each phone. Yunluo and An Chuyu used this password all the way in Norway, and it actually worked in Tromsø. Miracle. I finally found the right hotel. But the check-in time for hotels in Norway was 15:00, so I had to store my luggage and go out for a walk.
The hotel has an interesting map. Really thoughtful. Oslo Fjord. This is a world-famous ice-free port, the largest port in Norway, with a total length of 13 kilometers and a water depth of 20-50 meters. The railings are also very simple, and there is no need to worry about making them yourself. This time we arrived at the opera house half an hour earlier than expected.
Let me introduce Oslo, the capital of Norway. It is a famous historical city in Europe. It was built in 1050 AD and became the capital of Norway in 1814. It was once called "Christiania" and later changed to its current name. According to legend, Oslo means "God's Valley" and some say it means "foothill plain".
Both of these statements are related to Oslo's geographical location. The city is adjacent to the winding Oslo Bay, with the towering Holmenkollen Mountain behind it. The green mountains and the sea complement each other, making the city have both the charming scenery of a coastal city and the majestic momentum displayed by relying on high mountains and dense forests. Norway's origin is also very rough. It was first ruled by Denmark.
It was annexed by Sweden and did not become independent until 1905. The lobby of the Oslo Opera House, where Carmen is about to be performed. The bright lobby of the opera house. The base of the Grand Theatre covers an area of more than 38,000 square meters, equivalent to four international standard football fields. There are three stages and more than 1,100 rooms in the theatre.
After entering the main hall from the main entrance, there is this huge open house with extremely simple decoration, using only quite common materials such as stone, concrete, glass and wood. There are lounge areas, bars and restaurants here. Because there was no performance, we could not visit the performance hall.
However, it is understood that the stage area is several thousand square meters, part of which is located 16 meters underwater. Unlike the open main hall, the main auditorium is decorated with Baltic oak. The 1,350 seats at the back have their own independent screens that can provide subtitles in 8 languages during the performance.
Shipbuilders from the northwest coast of Norway were responsible for the relief carving of the box, and the largest circular tree-shaped decorative lamp in Norway is hung on the ceiling. This lamp has a diameter of 7 meters and weighs 8 tons. It is composed of 5,800 crystal glass components and is produced by the Norwegian local company Hadeland Glassworks.
The world in a cup. This place should be able to accommodate hundreds of people dining at the same time. I really like the Nordic layout. While waiting for people to go to the toilet, I looked out from the skylight in the hall. After the opera house opened in April 2008, it has received widespread attention and congratulations from both Norway and abroad.
The Oslo Opera House is a symbol of authority and beauty, of music and song, of cultural fascination. Arriving at the new opera house is a sign that you have truly arrived in Norway. Most importantly, it is a building that is shared by all: anyone who comes to Oslo will want to visit it.
Climb up this building, which is called "Snohetta's Marble Mountain" by Jonathan Hanglancey, a famous design critic of the British Guardian. This is the information and ticket office of the performance hall. The shelf next to it has information about the performances of the year. The ticket price is expensive. If you like Norwegian opera, please look forward to it.
Yunluo will make a practical guide at the end. It seems to be a Russian ship on the opposite side. You can see the cruise ship where Yunluo and An first met. Speaking of the Norwegian opera house, shouldn’t we talk about the father of modern drama, the Norwegian playwright Ibsen? His four major social problem plays, "The Pillars of Society".
(1877), A Doll's House (1879), Ghosts (1881), and An Enemy of the People (1873) are all world-renowned. There is a path that leads directly to the roof of the opera house, but it is actually quite slippery, so be careful not to fall down. Richard Morrison of Time magazine once described it this way: I'm in love.
She is Norwegian, gorgeous, interesting, and surprisingly profound. She is the Oslo Opera House, rising from the fjord, with a stunning marble and granite roof that makes it look like a glacier emerging from the water. Yunluo thinks that if you really want to take a photo, you need to go to the opposite side of the fjord to take a panoramic view, and the night view must be very, very beautiful.
Behind the opera house are Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Timed photo shoot, the wind was strong and the weather was cold. The key point is that there are two local natives swimming not far away. Sculptures near the central station. The third Fortable Hotel. Street view of Oslo. It doesn't feel that warm.
The square in front of the central station. Go up the stairs and you will find the entrance to the train station on the right. This beautiful lady is sitting there. Karl Johans Street. The main pedestrian street in Oslo. General Karl Johans. According to the treaty of 1814, he became the king of Sweden and Norway. This street is named after him.
This street runs from the central railway station through the city center to the Royal Palace, and then to the Parliament Building past the cathedral. Edvard Munch has a work called "Evening on Karl Johan Street" which is now in the Rasmus Meyer Collection in Bergen. We will go to the art museum later, so here is a brief introduction to Edvard Munch.
He is a Norwegian expressionist painter and printmaker. He is a great Norwegian painter and a pioneer of modern expressionist painting. Edvard Munch is a Norwegian artist with a world-renowned reputation. His paintings are full of strong subjectivity and sad and depressing mood. Picasso and Matisse have absorbed his artistic nourishment.
Some artists in Germany and France were also inspired by his works. His strong and evocative treatment of psychological distress had a major influence on the growth of German Expressionism in the early 20th century. There are many shopping malls on the pedestrian street, and there are many famous brands, because the journey is still long, and the prices in Norway are high.
I didn't do much shopping here, I just visited it as a tourist attraction. Local brand shoes. On the right is a cafe and a sundries shop. The spire behind is the Oslo Cathedral. The whole pedestrian street is very long, and there are many beggars. Even a high welfare country can't satisfy them. They may be from some poor European countries.
There is a heart-shaped lawn in the lower left corner. I wonder if it is a small cemetery. The slippery street is covered with tram tracks. The exquisite iron gate is covered with religious stories. It was designed by the famous Norwegian sculptor dagfinwerenskiold in 1938. Bus No. 171.
Entering Oslo Cathedral, Oslodomkirken, the cathedral was built in 1694 AD and took about a century to complete. It was renovated in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Norwegian state religion, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, is centered in this cathedral. Buildings such as churches in Europe usually take a very long time to complete, ranging from decades to hundreds of years.
It is true that meticulous work is the result of less manpower, but it also shows that the country's rule is relatively stable. Lutheranism is also called Lutheranism. The church emphasizes "justification by faith", believing that sinners are saved only by faith in Jesus Christ given by God, which is entirely out of God's grace (by grace alone) rather than out of human good deeds.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is different from the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox teachings that in addition to faith, people must also have sufficient good deeds ("redemption") to be saved. In addition, Lutheranism believes that the Bible is the only authority for believers' faith and life, and denies the Catholic teaching that the Bible and church tradition have equal status.
Unlike many Protestant Reformed churches, Lutherans retain many Catholic rituals and customs, and emphasize the importance of the Eucharist and baptism. They believe that these two sacraments, like the gospel message in the Bible, are the means of God's blessing and grace to people. The entire church is not very large, but it is also very beautiful.
I just didn't find the German-made organ with 6,000 pipes. The three-way intersection in front of the church. The flower market in front of the cathedral. Flowers in Northern Europe seem to be very cheap. The beautiful spire of the Oslo church. A bunch of flowers costs 65 nok, and 2 bunches cost 100 nok. It seems that flowers are more necessary than food.
Beautiful flower shed, very loving. Beautiful flowers. Check out the prices of the Treasure Restaurant. The food at Jindingxuan is the same as the price at Wumingju. After using the internet at Max, a European hamburger chain, I reviewed some local restaurants. Finally, I resolutely chose Burger King. The price is not cheap, with 25% tax, it was about 700 for 5 people.
The toilets in Burger King all have passwords. There is a pub in front. Nightlife should be part of the tourist program, hahahaha. A leisurely coffee shop on the street. Yunluo thinks Oslo must be very comfortable in summer. Street view of Karl Johans Street in Oslo. Nordic people wear a lot of clothes, but they seem to be thinner than Yunluo imagined.
They are all in great shape. This is one of the top coffee shops in the area, but I feel like there is nothing to eat. There are beautiful flowers in front of the shop, and Nordic flowers are everywhere. I felt dizzy walking in the aisle. I feel like I still have the aftereffects of sleeping on the cruise ship yesterday. I have to go to Burger King to relax, I don’t know if I am tired. After drinking enough water and eating enough food at Burger King on the second floor, I rested for half an hour.
Because I felt depressed without internet, I decided to find a mall to buy a sim card. After asking around, I found a Japanese anime store. There were a lot of things. I wonder how the prices compare to Japan. The products in the Apple store, a mobile phone film for nok249, omg.
Finally, I found a vendor selling phone cards in this mall. It was about 200 nok for 5 days, with unlimited data. The vendor was very generous and took Yunluo's iPad and changed it to Norwegian to help activate it. Before leaving, he changed it back to Chinese for Yunluo. Finally, Yunluo asked if it could be used in Tromso, and he said yes.
As a result, Yunluo was in tears when she arrived at the place. Although she had the hard-earned network, she still held the offline map iPad and headed towards the National Gallery. As she walked, she found a bullet hole on the window of a store in the pedestrian street... I don't know if it was a decoration style or a gunshot. Yunluo thought it was a gimmick.
We are at the National Gallery. This place is quite old and mottled. It seems that they save as much as possible on public facilities. There are posters and photos on display outside. It took a lot of effort to push open the heavy door. The arm strength is really trained. The ticket to the gallery is 50nok per person, and you have to store your bag. Look at the coats hung on the wall of the bag storage area. They are really not afraid of being stolen or robbed.
The guide is only available in English, which is more suitable for Chinese people. Interested students can get one at the entrance. Cultural relics unearthed in Novgorod (hoвгopoд). It is a historical city in northwest Russia. I used to be an amateur painter, majoring in Chinese traditional landscape painting, but after many twists and turns, I have neglected practice.
But I still love art, but now my appreciation ability is really not enough, so I can only take a quick look. The National Gallery of Norway has been part of the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design since 2003. The gallery was founded in 1842 and was located in the Norwegian Royal Palace at that time. It was not until 1882 that it moved to its current location.
It is said that this is a history that has only been around for nearly 140 years. The famous painting "The Charity of the Romans" by Italian painter Lorenzo Pasinelli shows that a Roman woman named Pero secretly fed her father Simon with breast milk when she visited him in prison after he was sentenced to starvation. Her behavior was discovered by the jailer, and the authorities were very moved and released her father.
The exhibition hall here is actually very large, with about 20 to 30 paintings. The paintings are mainly from Nordic painters, and the themes also have a distinct Nordic style. Thorvaldsen imitated the Three Beauties exhibited in the Louvre. Bertel Thorvaldsen 1770-1844 Danish neoclassical sculpture. (To be continued...)
