What a wonderful country you have. I love the idea of small shops and streets to walk along instead of big shopping malls! Makes the shopping more personal. The food looks great! I am off to visit TorAa! I like this port a lot! Sorry to be late. What a wonderful country you have. I love the idea of small shops and streets to walk along instead of big shopping malls!

Some people think the same about Australia with the Kangaroo’s & Koala bears. They’re surprised to not see any in the cities. Sometimes the locals joke with the tourists by telling them to watch out for the “drop bears (koalas)” that will fall out of the tree and land on your head. =D<br/><br/>I’d love to see what the interior of a cosmetics shop looks like as make-up is usually sold in pharmacies or department stores here. I wonder if the service is a lot friendlier in Oslo because I’ve always found the ladies in the Sydney department stores to be very intimidating for cosmetics & perfume (reminding me of predatory lions & vultures at times!).<br/><br/>I’m very impressed with the brief glimpse at Nordic design with fashion. Very elegant style there which challenges conventional designs I’ve seen here. Would love to see more sometime! ;)<br/><br/>The Norwegian easter eggs are soooo cool! They would sell so well here. Thanks for the great tour. Lovely to meet you & I look forward to keeping in touch! Cheers! ;) Funny to read about people’s perceptions of Polar bears running down the street.

I bought a pair of new shoes (bringing 436 pairs to the cruise is not enough) AND a ton of wool socks. I love this socks since being a little one. =) I fell head over feet in love with Oslo the first time I visited… and I didn´t expect any polar bears *LOL*

The higher prices would be very much worth it just to visit such a lovely place. Now it is certainly on my list of countries to visit. I do so enjoy traveling, but we Americans tend not to have enough holiday time. I will make the time!<br/>Thank you for sharing, Renny. The shopping and food look absolutely wonderful.

Enjoyed the salad at Cafe Sor. I picked up some essentials at the chemist and an evening gown at Design Forum. I also made a quick stop at Kondomeriet but it's a secret what I bought. I'll only say one is for me and the other is just in case Mrs. Lifecruiser needs a bribe so I can get out of chipping barnacles off the ship one evening. Now I just need to find a photocopy shop so I can print some more money. I was saddened to learn that Prince Haakon is indeed a married man. Maybe he wouldn't be past a quick fling with a slightly older woman? Oh the scandal! Thanks for the tour Renny. Off to visit TorAa after I pick up my bottle of Aquavit at the liquor store.
