After the belabored hotel checkin, we go for some lunch. I had chosen our hotel to be in the old city center, just across _Aker Brygge_ and
the _Akershus Festing_, so there's plenty of things to see and do here. Our lunch is at _Shufl_ and we treat ourselves to a small burger
with fries. The bun of the hamburger is black, because they've infused the dough with squid ink. An interesting concept, we agree.

informs me on Signal that squid ink may taste fine, but the sound of it being in my hambuger bun is gross.

will leave for _Kiel_, and we want to check it out. Seeing large ships like this manouvre through the harbor is kind of cool. So we walk
over the _Strandholmen_, some waterside building project, and it turns out to be a twisty fjord-esque walk. We then bee-line it over the
dock just to get stuck behind a cargo building with a closed fence. But, although we're 5 minutes late, so is the captain of the vessel

the harbor, we can see the boat back out and leave the harbor. Dope!

Off we scoot, but scooting while navigating with a phone is not my fort&eacute;, so we see fields, dirt roads, some buildings and
some more roads, until eventually a sign _Huk Strand_ presents itself. We scoot there as fast as these little 20km/h scooters will let us,

We're having a lot of fun on the scooters though. We gently manouvre them out of the geofence and hop back on, scoot over to the Royal
Palace and gardens, and see a bunch of really nice views. The palace itself is grandiose, the gardens have a set of sculptures in them,

I really need to go to the bathroom at this point, and this is no longer a national park where trees are begging to be watered, so we scoot
to our hotel. There, I notice that Google has an office **right across the street** so we should really check it out! It'd be nice to drink

We make our way to the hotel, pay the parking fee for the night, and sign off. Tomorrow morning we'll have breakfast, charge the car here in
Oslo city (the charger is close by to the harbor), make our way to the Color Line docks at noon, in time for our departure at 14:00, at least
we know what the ship looks like, and then we're off to _Kiel_ in Germany.
