Oslo

We had wanted to go back to Oslo for some time, primarily since the last time we were here it absolutely threw it down with rain, and it's really hard to appreciate a place when there is a continuous stream of cold water dripping down your neck!  This time, the weather was perfect - bright and sunny.

We used the Oslo hop-on / hop-off to get around again, and first went back to the Vigeland Sculpture Park.  This time, we were able to look at the park and statues without the camera lens misting up!  Once again, it was very impressive.

After this, we went to the Norwegian Folk Museum.  This was new to us - around a hundred historic buildings that have been dismantled bit by bit and then re-erected in this park.  Included in the park is the stave church - a wooden church that goes back to the 13th century.

We finally headed back down town to find an extremely impressive open air wildlife photography exhibition by Steve Bloom.  Some of his photos were so good that it (almost) makes you want to give up photography completely!  Finally, we headed back to the ship and sailed down Oslo Fjord, heading for the next stop of Copenhagen.
