Norway part 2

After this visit we went up a mountain road over Gaustatoppen where there was still snow! Then it was back to Katt and Lasse’s for the party.

We went to Oslo for a few hours before we took a ferry from Oslo to Copenhagen and visited the Viking Museum. The boats date from the 800s! Well worth a visit.

We also went to Vigelandsparken, also known as Frognerparken, a huge park and open area. It has a 14-metre high sculpture called the Monolith. The column is over 14 metres tall and carved in one single stone. It consists of 121 human figures. There have been many interpretations of the Monolith: Man's resurrection, the struggle for existence, Man's yearning for spiritual spheres, the transcendence of everyday life and cyclic repetition.... There are also more than 200 other statues created by Gustav Vigeland, to say they are unusual is an understatement!
