A wonderful foot massage that made us very relaxed before the journey, Just what we needed after all the walking we'd done in Singapore.
The Singapore Airport at 2 am in morning was gloriously empty and easy but there was a real paucity of eateries. Tanya ended up eating Hungry Jacks and we ate at "The Heavenly Wang." A rather weird name but surprisingly tasty.
The 8 hour flight to Doha through the night was uneventful and I slept several hours and felt surprisingly fresh at the end.
Gavin had access to The Gold Lounge at Doha Airport so we felt like kings. I particularly enjoyed the passion fruit yoghurt and must have eaten at least half a dozen! Also delicious mushroom stew.
A 6 hour flight to Oslo ended in a two hour queue to get through immigration. It felt like it would go on forever.
In Oslo, we had to do a COVID test as part of the condition of getting on the ship. After a tense 45 minutes, we were emailed our results and in ecstasy when we discovered we were all negative.
The taxi into Oslo by taxi cost $140!! This is not known as one of the most expensive cities in the world for nothing.
Oslo is a wonderful city in summer. We went out for dinner in a trendy part of town with lots restaurants with outside eating. We stayed out until after 10 but it stayed light the whole time. Sunset is only at 10.45 pm at this time of year!!
We discovered this morning that the SAS airline strike has been cancelled which is great news as our trip is less likely to be delayed - a real possibility up until today.

Incredible. There seems to be an huge amount of eating delicious food on this trip!😂.
I also thought there is a lot of food involved and probably even more so on the ship!
Singapore is a foodies delight (except oddly at the airport!), and Oslo looks like a really pleasant city to walk around.
