Karl Johan street

It is a big day in Norway. Everybody, all over the country, is out in the streets in long parades. Bands are playing, children and grown ups are filling their stomachs with ice and hot dogs, and everybody are waving flags and yelling “HURRA!!”

In Oslo the King and his family usually stands on the balcony of their castle and waves to the crowd as they parade by. (The King could not meet this year due to recent heart surgery).

I spent my day at Oslo Airport as I had to work in the afternoon and evening. I got to do some reading for my upcoming 6 months test, this year involving filing of flight-plans and calculations of loadsheets (weight and balance).
