• Oslo and Norway Finale

    5. August 2024 in Norwegen ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    I've been under the weather the last couple of days, but I am better now. Margie said it must have been the travel bug.

    Today's highlight had to be Frognerparken, Oslo's biggest park that features over 200 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. The theme throughout his work is to represent the cycle of human life. Much of his work is moving, some disturbing. But, isn't that life?

    We also got to visit two streets that have homes from the late 1700s to early 1800s. Even then, people chose to build their homes so close together.

    Observations of the day: Lovely country, lovely people. Margie's sister-in-law Betsy and her husband Michael visited Norway several years ago. When Margie told her we were coming here she said, "The people are just lovely." She was right.

    Second observation. I love our National Parks, but the breathtaking beauty we saw day after day along the fjords is unparalleled to anything else I've ever seen.

    See you in Copenhagen.
