Again it is a beautiful day. After a pretty good breakfast buffet, Julie goes over to the train station and buys each of us an all day travel pass. Eventually we go to the station and jump on a train that is going to the peak behind Oslo.

The idea was to see the Ski Jump and the view of Oslo from up above. We actually never saw the ski jump.

We did not stay long at the peak and took the same train back down the hill. There were lots of ski lodges and expensive houses up there.

Impressive Ski Lodge

We get off the train with the intention to walk to the nearest tram stop. It is a fair bit away. After a coffee stop, we continue on and we stop at a site.

Impressive Water Fountain and Statue
This Site is all about naked Men

There is also a site about naked women protesting including, apparently, a signature statue of a woman taking a pee in protest?? There may even be a third site for transgender folk. We decided the one would be enough.

What a guy!

We cross over the water and reach a tram stop relatively close by.

The destination is the fish market / food court. We get off the tram but it is a fairly long walk. Ryan eventually guides us there with his phone.

I had heard from my Scandinavian work colleagues when I spent time in Stockholm that the Norwegian girls were the best looking in the world. I was quite skeptical but as I spotted various talent around, I reached the same conclusion.

Interesting artwork at the entrance
Kebabs and other goodies

Chook
Fresh produce too
Ryan’s Pulled Pork and Tanika’s two sweet pies

A cold Kroonenberg was a nice refreshment

We walk out of the food hall and go to look at the large waterfall behind.

Lots of water, not much fall

Ryan and Tanika headed off on their own and I did not really see them again until Saturday morning when we left town. We took the long walk back to the Tram and then home.

When we went to dinner that night I was not very hungry at all. There was a somewhat spicy Thai soup which was just what the doctor ordered and an early bed after a very filled day.

Chicken Casserole – not for me
