Oslo

We were up at 7 am and drew back the curtains to find a beautiful blue sky sunny day. After an early breakfast which was less of a bun fight than usual I booked tickets for us on the Hop On Hop Off bus and we disembarked to find the ship berthed next to the huge new Opera House with a sloping marble roof that you can walk over.
We caught the bus out to the V sculpture park which is a beautiful park on the outskirts of the city dedicated to the life of the Norwegian artist . He created all of the sculptures for the park but died before it was officially opened. It is a beautiful place.
From there we decided to walk back to the ship and managed to navigate our way to the royal palace, the concert hall, the old fort and military barracks, the building where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded every year and then to the Opera House for a walk over the roof before returning to the ship for a late lunch.
After lunch it was time to catch on some emails and download photos off of the camera.
We made it to Happy Hour and later met up with our group for drinks and dinner and to swap stories of our day.
Oslo is a lovely city and we could have easily spent another couple of days there. Czytaj więcej
