We were on a walking tour that started going through old town headed to the oil museum. Our plan was to ditch the tour once we got admitted to the museum. Woody didn’t want the guided tour because he could have given the tour. So, we were going to start at the movie then the tour.
One would assume that a movie playing at a oil museum in Norway would be a documentary kind of thing. But no, it was a poorly acted drama about the reunion of a grown man and his oil worker father that he didn’t get along with called Oil Kid. The father had flash backs about a rig accident so I guess that was the connection to oil history. A strange thing to show in a museum.
Before the movie was over I felt my pocket for phone and my shipcard. Well, my phone was there but the shipcard was gone. So that ended the museum visit. We had to hike back to the ship, give them my passport to get thru security then security aboard the ship. To complicate things more, Woody had my shipcard so I lost his card. Anyway, we got it all straight.
Next, lunch at Burger King ($33).
Interesting notes:
1. Graffiti is legal here, it is called street art and it really was art.
2. Invented here...paper clip, cheese slicer and skiing.
3. The houses are wooden and painted white. A male hairdresser (owns the salon..You’re Gorgeous but what about that Hair) led a campaign to color his neighborhood. It was quite colorful and I LOVE the name of his shop!
4. The playground at the oil museum was made from old offshore equipment. The one inside was made like an oil platform. Both were outstanding.
It's starting to feel like this trip should've been sponsored by Burger King...
ReplyDeleteHaha, I feel like a sponsor with the prices we paid. I should place a decal outside of our room, just like NASCAR.
