Our sixth new country on the trip is Norway, another country with ties to the Vikings. We started a panoramic tour passing by the main streets and squares of the Norwegian capital, Oslo. We saw the Town Hall (where they award the Nobel Peace Prize), the Parliament, the National Theatre and the Royal Residence where Norway's royalty hangs out, but what they were most proud of was Vigeland Park and its sulptures by their 'famous' sculptor Gustav Vigeland. In the park there are more than 150 sculptures symbolizing the different stages in life. We also learned a little about the Noregian painter Edvard Munch famous for 'The Scream'. Then it was up to the Holmenkollen ski jump for a fantastic view over the city and the fjord far below. A delightful trip - see the pictures.
