Norway is the 30th country I have visited, and we are staying in Hollerhollen in the hills above Oslo. Roma and I enjoyed our ride from Gothenburg to Oslo. We stopped off for lunch in Fjallsbacka in Sweden - a lovely stop in a place that commemorates Ingrid Bergmann.
Today we left our hotel in the clouds for the city centre via tram and metro. Our first stop was the Edvard Munch museum. We did not know a huge amount about Munch, apart from The Scream, Nevertheless, we loved the paintings and got to see two of the seven versions Munch made of this iconic painting. The museum is brilliant and well worth the visit.
In the afternoon we took part in a walking tour of the city centre. We are experts in walking tours at this stage, but I have to say that this one was very uninteresting - mostly due to our very boring American guide. Nevertheless, we got to see some of Oslo's best known sites.
Some photos of the day...
