A quiet stroll around Oslo

We woke up a few minutes away from Oslo Central, and I quickly squared myself away and dropped from the top bunk to begin another day's adventure. First coffee at the Starbucks overlooking the station concourse then a walk in the beautiful morning sunshine.

We headed to the roof of the opera house, then along the harbour to the cruise terminal where Holland America's Rotterdam was in dock. We watched Crown Seaways and the Colour line ferry from Keil arrive in port - gliding over still water under an azure blue sky. The city had a quiet feel - the soundscape of echoing seabird calls was more Cornish fishing village than major European capital.

We wandered the battlements of Akershus fortress listening to the goings on aboard the nearby Rotterdam.Meer informatie
