We met up by the tiger, which is a classic meeting spot in Oslo.  Then, from Oslo S, we starting walking up Carl Johans Gate towards the Palace. My daughter was very excited to see the palace!  Along the way we stopped at Stortinget to admire the lions. It started to rain pretty hard, so we stopped at a bookstore called Ark to pick up a few Norwegian language books.  They were having summer sales, so we were able to get some good books at low prices.

Påskekrim refers to reading crime/ mystery novels at Easter time.  It is believed to have started in 1923 when the publisher, Gyldendal, ran an ad saying: the train to Bergen was plundered last night.
