We were on the BI cottage. We were about 10 kilometres from Oslo centre and about 30 kilometres around was forest. Sure, because Oslo is really in the forest. That's great and therefore (but not only for that) like this town. Actually, Oslo is my most favourite town after Prague (although it is not possible to compare these two towns). In Oslo it takes only fifteen minutes to go from the centre to Holmenkollen, to the great symbol of the town. On Holmenkollen you could have marvellous panoramic view of whole Oslofjord. But more important for most Norwegians is, that there is a ski jump and cross country skiing stadium. Down in Oslo (I don't dare to say in downtown, but from Holmekollen it looks like this), so, down in Oslo you can find many interesting things and some of them are on these pictures.

The town hall is the first thing you can see when you enter Oslo through the Oslojord. On the right hand side you can see the sunset at 3pm during Christmas 1999 over the Oslofjord.

On of the best things in Oslo is Frogner park. There are sculptures from Gustav Vigeland, who devoted hundreds of sculptures to one topic - to Life. Impressive.

The best museums, you could find in Oslo, are on Bygdøya penninsela. You can get there from the harbour by the boat (only in summer) but it is not the one on the left. That is RA II, the boat of Thor Heyrdahl
