A small lake called Åmotdammen.
Barcode, Oslo, Norway. The city's new (and only) skyline. Looks pretty cool in the sunset.
Stave church in Heddal, Norway. Norway is the only country in northern Europe where wooden churches are intact. The curch is also on the UNESCO list. I took a picture if the 'stafkirken' (stave church) and I think it's so beautiful!!

Room was good, duvets were warm. Getting to the room was a bit of a maze just the building is really cool. I did book a budget double room, and was given a room with a double bed rather than two singles, but there was a pull out bed on the chair in the room.
