Parks In Oslo

We had an unanticipated stop in Karlstad, Sweden before making it to Oslo September 22. Karlstad was a small city, but beautiful. We enjoyed our couple of hours here and spent them in a city park, and then in a Subway (because it was too cold out and because they had hot food free wifi).

September 23 we spent the day in the Vigeland Sculpture Park. Totally beautiful.

Here are our favourite statues in the park:

The rest of the afternoon we spent in the off leash dog park area. We saw 10 dogs to 4 owners and it was great to watch all the dogs interacting. 

September 24 we went for a walk in Bygdoy Park.

It was really rainy so we didn't spend too long outside.

To get some shelter we went into the Viking Boat Museum. Andrew went walking around in the museum, but I had a seat instead. Here are some Viking ships.

Since it has been cold out and because we were staying in a beautiful apartment we had some lazy mornings. Andrew started to affectionately call me Pat in the morning, because I was curled up on the couch in my pjs with the laptop in front of me and watching TV, reminiscent of mom on a weekend morning.

So finally we made it into city center and as in all European cities there was a large pedestrian area in the middle of city center, which we walked.

It was cold out... really cold out.

 This is how I describe my outfit: Incognito, blending in with local fashion. Maybe I'm delusional.

Next we went to the opera house, a very modern building on the waterfront.

Walking on the roof.

The opera house was so beautiful, it almost made us want to go to an opera. Almost.

  Then we went to the harbour.

We had a great time in Oslo, but are now off to Bergen for a few days.
