Last Day in Oslo

Started the day with an orientation tour with our Latvian guide Gundega. There were only 4 of us on the tour. We refreshed our memory & saw some things we hadn’t seen before.

Swedish King Christian points to where to build the new city after a fire or alternative interpretation pushed the little people down.

Norwegian King Harald passed away last week. Flags are at half staff and a LONG line of mourners  extends at least a quarter of a mile down the hill from the palace for the 3rd day. A great variety of people waiting to pay their respects to the king. Some are adding to the piles of flowers on the Palace lawn.

Monday, still line at least 1/4 mi. to pay respects to King Harald

We spent the entire afternoon in the National Museum, It’s huge and covers both The history of Western art and the history of Norwegian art.

We had fish soup by the docks. Great people watching on a Sunday. We walked home through the fort.
