Bogdan and Dorota were here for six days. Bogdan is a local historian with special interest in military history, but he also is very interested in the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.
So this is what we did.
Day One.
Walk through Moss: The Canal, The Industrial Museum. Moss Waterfall, the Public Library.
Dinner at Everts Cafe.
Day Two.
Visit to Fretex in Moss and Varna Evangeliesenter in nearby Vaaler - two places with secondhand stuff: clothes, furniture, books, kitchen stuff etc. etc.
Day Three.
With the ferry to Horten on the other side of the Oslofjord. Visit to the Preuss Photo Museum and to the Marine Museum.
Day Four.
With the train to Oslo. Then with a Oslo Pass for 24 hours (costs 220 kr) we could freely use public transportation and chose from a long list of museums and attractions. It was a good deal. We visited Munch Museum (using the metro), the Nobel Peace Center, The Fram ship, The Kon Tiki Museum, The Viking Ships (going by boat from the Town Hall to Bygdoe), Akershus Fortress and the Museum of the Norwegian Army.
In the evening we ate dinner at Alanya, the Turkish restaurant in Moss.
Day Five.
We took the bus to the place I work and walked back to town. Then to Raade where we visited the local bakery (wonderful cakes!), to the Roed Family Farm in Raade - a farm that has become a tourist attraction, to the Herb Garden in Rygge (one of my favorite places for a walk) and then to dinner at Rygge Hotel and to Reidun's home for a wonderful afternoon in good company.
In the evening Bogdan went down to the nearby beach and went for a swim!
Day Six.
Dorota made pirogi ruski in the morning (delicious!) and I scanned the documents Bogdan had brought along, before we hurried to our local airport. But there was no need to hurry that much - the plane was delayed 25 minutes. Bogdan later said they got to their bus in Warszawa in time and were home at one o'clock at night!
