Oslo, Norway

We enjoyed Oslo very much. I recommend to all to visit this beautiful city. First we bought tickets to the Hop on - Hop off bus line (we learned our lesson in Copenhagen and used this bus line instead). We first walked to the Vigeland Park. The sculptor Gustav Vigeland donated his statues to the city as long as they could be viewed 365 days a year without charge. The park in his honor is huge and his works of art are impressive. All of his statues are nudes except the one he sculpted of himself. You can imagine the fun that Ric had with this!!


There is a monolith that he sculpted that took him 32 years to finish. It is sculpted out of one piece of granite with over 120 figures sculpted. Impressive!











After the park, we then boarded the bus to go see the Viking Museum. Inside are three intact boats that were buried by the vikings as tombs for important people.








Then off on the bus to go to the royal palace where we saw the changing of the guard.
