June 11/12 - Oslo, Norway

We leave the Arctic Wilderness and arrive in Oslo. The activity of a big city brings us back to reality. 

Oslo is absolutely gorgeous. Many turn of the century buildings in pristine condition.

We are at the Grand Hotel built in 1917 in the middle of town. Our dinner on the first night is at Sawan, I highly recommend it. Thai/Japanese, quite interesting and a delicious combination. Great wine list.

One day in Oslo brings us to the Munch Museum where there is an amazing exhibition. Van Gogh & Munch. Two extraordinary artist’s breaking with tradition and painting their emotions.

Starry Night, Van Gogh

Starry Night Over the Rhone, Edvard Munch

The Viking Museum.

Of course a visit to Oslo includes the famous Viking Museum, where there are two full size Viking ships and artifacts from the 12 th century when they were buried. 

Tomorrow, Bergen!
