Saturday we were in Oslo, Norway. It was a beautiful sunny day. This is our third time here and we decided to just walk around the harbor area.
Sailing up 60 miles (100 km) along Oslofjjord
Two other cruise ships were also sailing in.
We haven't figure out what these buildings are for.
A WW2 defensive fort protecting the fjord
A ski slope.

The impressive City Hall. The Nobel Reace Prize is awarded in it
Along the harbor front
The Nobel Peace Center. We we planning to go into it but it was closed today.
The Akershus Fortress sits beside the inner harbor. We walked through it. It is still an active militart installation and there are some solders here

Walking along the harbor.
It was a very crowded afternoon as it was a nice sunny Saturday
I found a small bar away from the busy harbor front for a couple of beer. At the harbor, all the restaurant had lines to get in
Back to the ship.
.The Holmenkolbakken Ski Jump was used for 1952 Winter Olympics
People were swimming in the cold water earlier in the day.
Waiting for the final passengers to get back to the ship
