Duh!!! 2 completely different situations although at the same location. Laws of physics: Plane landing there is impressive but harmless. Plane ready to take off on a short runway front of a hill needs to stand still and push the gas as much as possible, creating the sandblasting effect. One piece of advice: DO NOT stand directly in the back of the planes when they take off over there. Lived on Sint Maarten 10 years, it's definitely something to see but be careful 😊
You really didn't get to see much of Oslo! Even if you're not into museums (of which there are many), and prefer walking around soaking in the local atmosphere, I would definitely have visited some of the numerous parks (especially Vigeland park and Ekebergparken - in addition to the statues the layout and nature is worth a look), taken a scenic walk along Akerselva, taken the sub-surface up to Holmenkollen ski jump (the view from the top encompasses the entire city) or to Sognsvann for a nature walk around the lake. The ride up there also provides an interesting view of the city. There are also sections of the city that have been preserved from the mid 18th and 19th century which are interesting to some. The geographical center of Oslo is in the middle of the forest in Nordmarka (both Holmenkollen and Sognsvann are entrances to the vast forest). Even if you're not into museums, I would recommend the Folk Museum at the "museum island" Bygdøy. It is basically an outdoor park with historical buildings ranging from the viking era to the beginning of last century, with different plays and crafts on display. There is even a large stave church that was moved from its original location. As others have mentioned, there are also lot of cafés and restaurants, different events are always taking place. I would recommend purchasing an "Oslo card" which gives you free access to public transportation (bus, tram, subway), most museums and even some boat rides (not the tourist sightseeing rides, though).
yea the sculpture park completely slipped my mind!! we did do a nice walk along the water from the opera house to where the musuems are. when we took the fjord tour. the outdoor park was included in the ferry we went on! but because we were heading back to the states we wouldn't have been able to get back in time. Thank you for those suggestions!!
Hi there, it is me and my fiance's dream to get married in Cancun! Your videos are really helpful in understanding the process. Thank you for giving us a round figure of your approx. budget! I am looking forward to your future videos on your wedding journey! I am very keen on knowing about the vendors and the travel / wedding planner you worked with. That would be a great help!😊
You should have visited the Vigeland sculpture park and walked up the river of Akerselva. Also, how about the trap 12, to see all the beautiful architecture and nature.
You guys missed so much in Oslo if you are into cultural and historical themes. There are lots of museums of all kinds. And there is a large park with lots of statues made by one man, but it might not be something for people that dislike nudity statues as all of them are of people of all ages without clothes on. There are also many very good restaurants of all kinds. The nightlife is rather good for people that like that as well. I am sure that some in the hotel you stayed at could have pointed you to lots of nice places to go if you asked them. You could also have visited the Oslo Visitor Center that is rather close to where you stayed. And you could have found tons of information on what Oslo has to offer online.
Definitely has stuff for people that love museums we aren’t as much into museums and mom is a little more conservative. I love good night life but momma not so much. We enjoy walks and seeing day to day life. We almost booked to have the private sauna but seeing that the saunas were so close to people walking by she wasn’t as comfortable. We LOVED Bergen. It’s always a journey to travel with a parent and my main goal was to keep her comfortable and do things she would enjoy. We loved the fort and wish we spent more time there.
Paris always has our hearts. When I first started traveling I never thought I would travel back to a place and now I’ve been to Iceland London and Paris and Italy again and there is always more to see!
The birds you saw arguing were a pair of red breasted geese and an Egyptian goose, probably over territory. None of them are truly native to the UK, but have escaped from zoos and are now settled. If you wait until the pelicans spread their wings you'll see that they have their flight feathers clipped on one wing to stop them leaving (they're not native either). Most years, one of the local newspapers will show a picture of a pelican eating a pigeon, typically with the victim peeping out of the large bill for one last look at the world. Hope that doesn't freak you out too much.
That is incredible info!!! Doesn’t freak me out it definitely makes sense and makes the combination of birds in the park more interesting to watch and see their interactions!
Beware the American Candy Shops. They are mostly money laundering setups for criminal gangs. Westminster Council is still working out how to get them shut down.
@@JobokenNJ Interesting, I have lived in both and prefer London. The arrondissements feel samey to me, where as London has a different vibe in each borough. I will be leaving London soon but would like to stay. :(
I think England is an incredible country, I also record in the same way here in Brazil, I started making videos recently. I'll follow you from now on, I subscribed to your channel, a big hug straight from Barbacena Minas Gerais!!!
