Can anyone recommend places where I might be able to find such jewelry?

Hi everyone, my husband and I are hoping to visit Oslo in July/August this year. I'm just wondering is it an easy city to navigate with a 1 and a half year old baby in tow? What's the public transport like? Also would 4 or 5 days be enough to do the city justice? Finally I'm just wondering if it would be possible to do a day trip to a nearby fjord to get a taste of the countryside!? Since I read Roald Dahl's auto-biography as a kid, I've always fancied a boat trip around one!! Thanks for your help....

Will have an evening, a day and a morning free in Oslo. Could possibly add another day, but will be relying on public transport. What would be the top 5 reccomended experiences in or around Oslo? We like museums, art, cultural/regional or historical experiences- well just about anything, but hiking and skiing will not be possible on this trip. What will the weather be like in May? Any suggestions for a reasonably priced place to stay? Not fancy, just easy access to public transportation, clean, comfortable, and a good place for one to hang out while the other is tied up on business. Thanks so much!

Hi, My partner and I are flying into Oslo on Friday 8th and staying 'til Sunday 10th (my Christmas present ;) ). We know quite a lot of what we're going to do but we're wondering which of the ticket deals on the www would be best for us? Friday we're flying in to Torp on Ryanair. We know there's a bus (Torp Express) connected with the Ryanair flights, that would take us all the way to central Oslo (we're staying at the Plaza). However, for reasons I won't bore you with (I can if you want ;) ), we're getting off the bus at Drammen and taking the train into Oslo S. Saturday we're intending to spend the day skiing at Tryvann; the Tryvann website advises taking T-banen Line 1 to Voksenkollen and then the Skibus. ... aside question here - aiui, Tryvann opens at 10:00; as we're hiring skis, etc., if we arrive earlier, is the hire shop open earlier? Sunday, we're flying out of Torp. Not sure whether to get the Torp Express bus all the way from Oslo to Torp or take the train and airport link bus? We've read about the Oslo Pass but is this going to be the best deal for us, given that we won't have much, if any, time to take advantage of free entry to museums, etc.? Tia for any help, advice, etc. Regards,

Hello. I'm going to Norway this October and I'll need an Hotel in Oslo for the first night, near the train station, because in the next day early in the morning I'm catching the train to Flam. I saw the Oslo Budget Hotel... is that a bad hostel? I think is near the train station. The last 2 nights of my trip I'll go back to Oslo and I would like to stay in a nicer hotel but not expensive (not more than 1000 Nok). Thank you in advance.
