Today was our first day in Norway as part of our 2 week vacation. We started off quite chill to then proceed to have quite an awkward dinner service.
Yesterday nothing much happened. We did actually managed to reach everything according to plan. Zero delays which was really nice for a change. We arrive at my family around 12:30 am and then proceeded to just go strait to bed.
Today we slept in till noon due to us both being quite exhausted from the trip. We had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, potato’s and toast. We just talked and got to know each other a bit better while eating. The rest was just spent on relaxing.
At around 6 pm we headed out and took the car down to the city where we took a small walk over the Opera house. There I showed Nathan the view from the top while pointing out different places in the city, and then we headed out to “Sørenga” which is a place that started out as a typical apartment place, but has then gotten a lot of restaurants and places to swim for both locals and tourist.
We found a place to eat dinner and this is where all the shit went down. We first had a small problems with ordering drinks where the waiter would take one order and then just walk off before we got to share ours. Then when we were ready to order the food a new waiter came to serve us. My mother ordered two starters instead of a main course, my father and Nathan both went with Tagliatelle with mussels and I had Fettuccini with scampi.
So our first problem accrued when the waiter brought out both my my mothers dishes because she had forgotten to inform them that they were suppose to be a replacement for main course, then it was also the fact that she got it at the same time because she also forgot to tell them that she wanted them after each other. The second problem was the fact that it took us SO long until the rest of us got our food. At some point we asked when it will arrive and the waiter said 8 min, but waited for at least 30 min. The food itself was quite good at least. Not really worth the waiting time, but it could have been worse.
After our small awkward dinner Nathan and I decided to take a small walk around the tip of the half island just to see what was out there. By the time we arrive back at the restaurant my parents had already started moving towards the car. We did catch up eventually after I had spent some time sitting a fake dolphin on the playground.
Now we are just chilling and relaxing our feet. For tomorrow we are heading up early to drive to a sculpture park a bit further away. The day itself was alright. I don’t blame the waiters at all for what happened during dinner. My mother did forget to inform them, plus they are not the ones responsible for how long the kitchen takes to prepare the food.
