Norway Part 2 – Oslo

One day, Leif, the kids and I went into Oslo to do a bit of sight seeing.  It was fun to see the kids experience some of the big highlights of the city.

First on our stop, was one of my favorite – Vigeland Park.  It is a park composed of the artist Gustav Vigeland’s life work, were people are depicted in a variety of typical human situations and relationships. Beautiful.

Of course we had to have just a bit of fun ….

We also took in the new Opera House.  Last time we were there, it was still under construction.  It is architecturally stunning!  You can walk from the water to the roof.

The kids were a little tired, so we let them take a little rest.  Looks like they are laying on flat ground, but actually a nice slope.

Inside the opera house is equally as stunning.

As were the performers:

Then it was onto a soft ice and walk down the most popular street in Oslo – Karl Johans Gate.

Campbelle wanted to see the Castle – which is located directly behind where this photo was taken.

A few days earlier, after Risvika, we visited the Crown Jewels that are held up in the city of Trondheim.  Campbelle loved it!  (but no photographs allowed).
