Next Stop Tonsberg and on to Sweden

Following a night in Oslo, we took the train to Tonsberg about an hour and a half south of Oslo. Of course we missed the earlier train by about 5 minutes, but we caught the next one and arrived safely. At this point there were 5 of us traveling and we had so much baggage we had to take 2 taxis to the hotel. Luckly it was a short ride so not too expensive.

In Tonsberg we found our boats and captain, visited the local Viking Museum where they are reconstructing a Viking ship using only the tools available at the time. We also bought provisions for the trip, but only for 1 day since it was so expensive.

From Tonsberg we traveled to Bjorkoya and spent the night off an island. The next day we  traveled to Stromstad Sweden where we had dinner and bought more supplies. Not much time for sightseeing but we did get to walk around the town some.
