Our third and final day in Oslo was our free day. I woke up and went for a run with Anna... It was so much fun seeing Oslo wake up. We ran by the river, then found a park, then got lost... but we ended up making our way back in a circle! I love getting lost in cities!
After having a leisurely morning, we got ready and went downtown... Sadly, the Munch Museum was closed, but we did get to see the Opera House, City Hall, Parliament, Akershus Fortress, the Resistance Museum, and the Botanical Gardens. It was a very successful day overall! We also sat for a time at a cafe and people watched while sipping espresso... it felt right!
The Opera House:
 |
| Connor and Anna! The two lovely ladies I spent my free day with. The opera house is in the background. |
 |
| The lobby of the opera house... We are showing this design to the architects of the new music building on Whitworth's campus (just kidding...!) |
 |
| On top of the opera house! It's the only one in the world were people can walk on the roof! |
 |
| The view from the opera house |
 |
| A view of the water... |
 |
| The fortress wall! |
 |
| I mean, if this is a Norwegian custom...! #translationproblems |
 |
| even more fortress...! |
 |
| The cannons and flag |
This was an incredibly powerful museum. It showed the resistance army when Hitler took over Norway in WWII.

| The Resistance Museum |
 |
| Guns. |
 |
| One of the shell casings for a bomb... |
City Hall:
 |
| City Hall! |
 |
| A Post Box... I had to look around for Dr. Who in case the Tardis' chameleon circuit started working again... |
 |
| Inside City Hall. It was like a museum! |
After another meal at the Turkish restaurant, we walked around Oslo's Botanical Gardens. So lovely! And such a great way to end my time in the city.
 |
| A Rhododendron; looks like home! |
 |
| This crew is awesome!!! |
 |
| Stunning. |
Now we're headed north to Roros and Trondheim!
Cheers!
