Oslo

We had a delightful day trip to Oslo. Among the many interesting things we saw was the Viking Ship Museum:

We visited the Munch Museum. One of Edvard Munch's famous paintings is The Scream:

We walked on top of the Oslo Opera House:

We walked down Karl Johans gate, the main street of Oslo. The Norwegian Parliament is on this street:

At the end of Karl Johans gate is the Royal Palace. It was fairly dark by the time we got there, as the sun sets early this time of year in Norway, but we had our photo taken with the Royal Guard:

Earlier in the day we had tried to visit another royal residence, Oscarshall. It was not open to the public at this time of year, but we had a pleasant walk on the grounds.

Our last stop of the day before dinner was the Nobel Peace Center:
