We Made it to Oslo

We spent our last day in Copenhagen visiting two of the many art museums in the city. We narrowed our visits to the post Impressionist artists - Gaugin, Degas, Monet, Lautrec, Picasso, and Matisse, to name a few. Rooms and rooms of my favorite artists, and we found some new Danish favorites. Then packed our bags and headed to the port where we boarded the ferry bound for Oslo.

After a very pleasant ferry ride and huge dinner in one of the restaurants on board, we went to bed and woke up just outside of Oslo. We then checked in at our hotel and boarded a sightseeing bus to get the general layout of the city. Our first impression is very positive - lovely old buildings mixed in with modern, but architecturally charming buildings. Like Copenhagen, there are very few tall buildings. We also saw many small gardens and parks all bordered with lovely flower gardens. (I'm sure in a few months those flowers will be gone).

We'll be here for a few days playing tourist and seeing as many of the sights as we can, while also relaxing in this lovely city. It's now 10pm and the sun has just gone down. We'll talk to you later.............
