Oslo week-end, dag #2

Unsurprisingly, Oslo was much quieter on sunday morning ...

Well, except for the lions of course ...

Some kind of "mediterranean" atmosphere, in accordance with the sunny weather:

And we started the real visit by the fortress, almost in the middle of the city:

and actually so close that you can catch a glimpse of the harbour, sometimes ...

To really enjoy the view, some (soft) rock-climbing, and here we are: Aker Brygge is just in front!

On the other side ... a HUGE cruise boat:

Speaking of boats, we took one just after. A bit smaller, as it happens to be part of the bus network. We wanted to go to Brygdøy, the island of many museums ... Some bus stops on the island ;-)

And the museum we aimed to was:

... the polar explorer ship "Fram", which was used by both Nansen and Amundsen, respectively for the North Pole and the South Pole explorations. Very interesting of course :-)

After this exciting visit, we needed to relax a bit, waiting for our bus back ...

And wandering around Aker Brygge once more, for some ice-cream reasons ...

Almost alive sculptures ...

With our full stomachs, we had enough energy to walk until the brand new (and white) opera:

Inside textures:

Wood !

And yes, you can walk on the roof ! So you can feel so little ...

... or like a giant :-)

Here, even the islands are "design":

We had to finish this (very warm) week-end by a refreshing walk in the Vigeland Park:

Oslo, so south of Norway !
