My OperaMy time at Opera - What a weekend!

Last week as many of you might have seen from my FluffyBunny blog - I visited the Opera Software offices! The post on FluffyBunny is more about my day at Opera, so I thought I would update with my time at Opera and my experience in the beautiful Norway.
This post will telly ou about my day at Opera, so I won't bore you all with that story again. It really was a great experience meeting the people that I have talked to for so very long! Everyone was so nice to us and made us feel very special! After the Friday beers, we were taken to dinner. We went to a nice little Thai restaurant called Gio which isn't too far from their offices
The food was good and we had a ball, laughing, joking, taking pics etc. After the restaurant we went to someones house for a party. Poor guy must have had a major clean up job the next day, because there were loads of people in his house! We finished the night off at a metal bar in Central Oslo! It was.... ummmm... an interesting place!
Saturday was very exciting. Stacey, Tor, Thomas and Eivind took us up the mountain to go sledding. My bf and I shared a sled and it was the funnies thing I had seen in ages - He kept falling off the back and rolling in the snow! He came away with a few bruises on his bum, but I was fine (of Course ) The day was topped off with another lovely dinner. We were also joined by Tors lovely wife Manju.
Sunday was a day of sight seeing. We had lunch in central Oslo before making a move. We drove around looking at all the sights, we visited the Fram Museum, which is a museum that is built around a boat. It was all very beautiful and very interesting. Later in the day, being the true Brit I am... We whatched the Football! lol! Tottenham Vs Man Utd, followed by Real Madrid vs Levante. I am pleased to say Real Lost! WOOP WOOP. We had some grub then said our goodbyes and it was back to the hotel for some much needed sleep.
Monday was much like Friday - I just spent time with Espen finding out cool things about the community etc... So all in all I had a great trip. It really will be remembered forever and I am honored to have been invited. Thank you Opera for being so generous and entertaining.
