Welcome to Oslo

Oslo was the first stop on our trip from Copenhagen to Stockholm on the Norwegian Dawn Cruise ship. We had been to other parts of Norway on two previous trips.    Oslo was the furthest south we have been.  Oslo is located on the end of the long Oslofjord.  We did a city tour that started at the amazing Holmankollbaken Ski Jump.   Then we visited this massive family Sculpture Park and Gardens.    There were a lot of different sculptures within the park that had a definite adult theme, not sure why.   The final stop was to the Oslo Maritime Museum.   We got to see a lot of the city on the ride between attractions and it is a beautiful city.
