Friday is when the weekend starts, so it was also the day when the InterScandi hash event started! That meant I had to get a train to Oslo first, and to then kick it off with a little pub crawl.
While I was having breakfast in the SJ Lounge in Stockholm Central, the platform number for my train disappeared off the screen. That didn’t bode well… My SJ 3000 to Oslo eventually departed with a thirty minutes delay, which grew to almost an hour during the six hour long ride. Unfortunately this type of train doesn’t have any solo seats, but the seats were wide enough to be comfortable and not in anyone’s way.
After arrival in Oslo, it was just a short bus ride—I didn’t feel like lugging my bag around town—to the Crow Bar & Bryggeri, where Interscandi officially started with a checkin and bag drop, and the first beer of the pub crawl. Loads of familiar faces, from Brussels and elsewhere…
The pub crawl was actually just a list of suggestions, half of which were on my to-do list anyway. My first stop was at Henry & Sally’s, Mikkeller’s bar in Oslo. Unlike yesterday, I actually bought my Mikkeller Passport and had it stamped.
My second stop was at Oslo Street Food, where I got myself the Gangnam Chicken from Tunco.
After that I headed to Crafty Dog, once Oslo’s BrewDog bar, and it still shows. No tattoo or EFP discounts, though!
I then still had time for a last beer at Café Sara, before a bus would take us to our accommodation for the weekend, Rønningen Folkehøgskole.
