MONDAY VISIT TO OSLO

 By the time we got to Oslo it was raining so our first stop was the KonTiki Museum. I had been fascinated by the story of Thor Heyerdahl's travels when I was a teenager. This museum showed several of his voyages and a full size raft. There was a piece of balsa wood to lift up. It was really light – like pumice stone.

KON TIKI RAFT

As it had cleared up when we got out we were able to go visit the Vigeland Park. Gustaf Vigeland had created numerous statues representing the circle of life. From babies to old people. Fascinating. So many tourists – many were Asians and many selfie sticks!




















Time for food so we found a close by restaurant. It was called Billabong. Not sure if it was trying to be Australian. Had a chicken curry there.


We wandered along the waterfront so I tried out the seating.
