Oslo

The view out of my hotel window.

 I truly hope that there isn’t going to be construction activities on this part of the building.  This building used to be the train station. The location is great. I was rather spoiled by my last hotel.  I was scolded for not telling them that I was leaving before breakfast this morning. The clerk called the kitchen and in less than 5 minutes a take away bag appeared. When I got on the train, I investigated it. There was a croissant, grapes, strawberries and an apple and what appeared to be a roll with smoked salmon.  I figured that one really should not eat a smoked salmon sandwich on a crowded train. Especially since the trip was over 6 hours.  When I got to my lodgings, I tore into the sandwich. It was actually a fried egg and salmon on a roll.  Sort of a Norwegian egg McMuffin. I wonder what they would have provided if I had notified them earlier about my early departure?  

That was an extraordinary hotel. 

By 4pm, I had finished my breakfast and went out for a little walk and air. The opera house, the water, the new Munch museum. All within a couple of blocks.

The opera house.

Notice the graceful lines of the opera house.

In truest Norwegian fashion, the roof of the opera house is an opportunity for aerobic exercise.
Nice angles and light on the roof. And this trip is all about the light.

Then, not-matter that it was only a little after five, I was suddenly taken exhausted.  So, I headed back. Stopping to get a coffee and cup of yogurt at a 7-Eleven. $6.43. Norway isn’t cheap.  

So, here I am in my room, essentially ready of bed and it’s not 7pm yet.  Not much of a party animal these days. But still crazy.
