Day 6 - Farewell Oslo

It's time to head back to the good ol' U.S.A.  via London.

Olso is a fun town and we left plenty of things to do on our return visit someday. 

Day 5 - Broker Pub revisited

We have enjoyed this little pub near our apartment at Saga Hotel. It was right across the street from the tram stop. It's a nice area of town near the Embassy's, lots of other apartment buildings and food markets.

The Saga Hotel apartment worked perfectly sans the sofa bed - transportation to tram 19 was only a block away.  The apartments are located a few blocks from the hotel. Still a double bed, dining area, two kitchens, two bathroom, two balconies, sitting area, and 40" TV for $11,525 NOK was a bad deal for 5 nights in Oslo. 

Day 5 Oslo - Our final walk

It's time to wrap up our trip to Oslo and start packing. Lucky for us the rain has stopped and the sun is out - just in time for a whirlwind shopping spree at some of the towns best stores.

Here are some random pictures from our visit.

Day 5 Oslo - Bacchus

We finally found Bacchus Spiseri & Vinhus open for lunch (www.bacchusspeiseri.no). It's a nice restaurant in the shadow of the Cathedral in the central city of Oslo. The shrimp are definitely smaller than our warm water Gulf of Mexico ones - but tasty nonetheless.

Day 5 Olso - Norsk Folkemuseum

The Norwegian Folk Museum (www.norskfolkemuseum.no) is one of Europe's largest open-air museums, with 155 traditional houses from all parts of Norway and a stave church from the year 1200. 

On a nice day - you can wander around the grounds and visit each of the buildings. Many are open and docents offer details of life during the period. It is very interesting. 

The indoor exhibits show traditional handicraft items and folk costumes. We skipped the indoor spaces on our trip. Nice gift shop of locally made items.
