Further adventures in and about Oslo

All the days are beginning to run together so I might miss something or get the order wrong but what the heck. Tues., morning July9, Dianne Leggatt arrives today. Up early do an engine check, find two sheared off bolts lying under the engine!! Discover that they're off the coupler. Couples the transmission to the propeller. 3rd bolt loose and bent! Can't get the pieces out, Have to take the v drive off oh joy. Get this all done and still can not get the ens of the bolts out. Carry it all uo to the office at the club. No one home, time slipping by before have to go to airport. Finally find Harbour master, He can't help''''''' but Mechanic on premises who can and does. So after two bits and some up sizing from english to metric I,m ready to reinstall.
    Send Sally off alone to Oslo International to meet Dianne. Get everything back together and find I can not make a phone. So waiting to hear/from Sally.
     Eventually Sally calls to say Dianne was not on the plane! Says she will wait for another flight. This goes on all afternoon. Finally decide she should come back to the boat. Sally hangs up. 5 minutes later Dianne calls she has landed! Advise her to get the train and meet us at Oslo City Hall. This happens 20 minutes before the last Ferry back to the Yacht Club.
     Wed. I'm up early and ready to go....... Eventually we jump on the Ferry for the quick trip to Fram hus and Kon Tiki and the Marine museum. We do the 3 museums have lunch catch the bus and go to the Viking Ships. Then catch the Ferry to the Main land do the Nobel Peace museum  get kicked out at 1800 do some shopping catch the boat get back to Kalinka1 cook dinner hit the hay and,,,,,,,,
       It's Thursday. Decide to move the boat to/city side. Got fuel motored into Oslo proper tied up went utown to get the phone sorted out. Turns out I had pocket dialled my mum and used up all my minutes! Now have phone locked!!! Had lunch in a park. Walked to the Resistane Museum had a beer then dinner on board then out for Ice cream and that's all for bow.
