It is always amazing to me how big an Airbus A380 is … the logistical challenge to load and unload so many people on two floors … and the feeling of wonder when you smoothly take off and land a massive engineering marvel of that size. Pretty cool.
Upon landing in Oslo, we took the train from the airport into town … another great engineering feat … quit, smooth, comfortable, and painless … it dropped us half a block from our hotel … so civilized.
The city seems a bit empty being Sunday and cloudy except for all the big outdoor screens around town getting ready for the UEFA European Final (Spain vs England) ... a great 2-1 game for another win for Spain. Lots of restaurants and shopping by the water. We had a nice dinner and headed to bed to continue to process the jet lag.
