Day 13 - Oslo, Norway




Day 13 has been the highlight of our cruise so far – Oslo is by far the most beautiful city that we’ve seen so far. While not as old as many of the other cities that we’ve visited, it is a city of statues and green spaces. Norway is a fiercely nationalistic country which pays great honour to the men and women who died during WWII – especially the members of the Norwegian resistance. Oslo is at the end of a beautiful fjord and our first taste of the absolute beauty of this Scandinavian country.

We spent most of the day exploring the old fort which guarded the end of the fjord.

Oslo is a city of history and beauty.
