6. I was at the rally

Not deliberately, but I spent the afternoon at the Norwegian Folk Museum and the Viking Ship Museum, part of the standard tourist itinerary and well worth it. You reach the museums by a ferry service that leaves from in front of the City Hall, and on the way back, I noticed some people boarding the ferry with roses, but since the area where the museums are located is also an affluent residential area, I thought that they might have been to some sort of event there, but once the ferry landed, I saw crowds gathering in front of the City Hall, some with roses, others taking roses from young people who were wearing yellow vests.

One of them explained the purpose of the gathering and gave me a rose.

The crowd was truly a cross-section of society, with everything from old people to Goths to yuppie banker types to blue collar types to young couples with babies in strollers. Lots of blondes, but also Middle Easterners and Africans. People were talking and waiting quietly, preparing to march. There was some sort of signal, and everyone fell silent and raised their flowers in the air.

The crowd filled the whole waterfront in front of the City Hall and spilled into side streets. They marched to the Storting (Parliament), and at that point the rally began to break up, although I'm told that there would be a concert on the waterfront later.

I was too tired and hungry to stay, so I started walking back to my hotel. The hotel serves breakfast only, so I needed to find some dinner. Unfortunately, almost everything was closed, but I managed to find a little Thai restaurant that was open...and packed.

It's after 9 pm, and I need to spend the rest of the evening relaxing.
