Oslo is the capital and largest city in Norway with a population of about 500,000 people. It lies by the coast in a fjord called the Oslofjord, where the city sprawls out both to the north and to the south on both sides of the fjord giving the city area more or less the shape of a "U".. If you arriving Oslo by sea, be sure to spot Oscarsborg (Oscarsborg Fortress) which sunk the German heavy cruiser "Blucher" in the 2.nd World War, which again made the parliament and royal Family to flee to safety in London.
Oslo is the home to the famous late 1800's modern artist, Edvard Munch. Today you can visit the Munch Museum. This is home to the famous painting, "The Scream" which was stolen in August 22, 2004, then recovered. Oslo's land is vast, including forests, ski-slopes and public beaches. Winters are chilly, and can drop down to -20 C. Summers are mild at about 20-27 C. Other great sights include; Akershus Fortress built around 1300 and used to protect Norway. And the grand Royal Palace, built in the 19th century. The best known street in Oslo, is the Karl Johans Gate. It runs from the Central Trainstation to the Royal Palace. Along it you find shops, restaurants, pubs and also the Parliament. In close aproximity you find the City Hall and down by the sea you have the Aker Brygge (Pier). This is a great place during summer when the weather's wonderful.

It was a beautiful spring day when I walked around Oslo one last time before I left. The day was blessed with enough sunshine to keep me a bit warm because the air was still a bit cold that day.
As I can remember, I started from the central station and walked through Karljohan. Stopped by at the Parliament and then at the National Theather. Norway's National Day was coming up (happens on May 17th) so the city was filled with Norwegian flags and I actually didn't realize it at that time...

Before going to Oslo I received a message from Gudny asking me if I had time to meet her. It thought it was a great idea to meet her and was looking forward to meet the one that had made the nice Oslo blog.
We changed cell phone nr and I promised to message her when I arrived Oslo to set up a time to meet her.
I had a tight schedule so we met in the hotel lobby where I was staying and went just around the corner from the hotel and sat outside in the sunshine.

I just found them on some cd's and thought i would share with the rest of you :) After all there are a lot of nice places around Oslo that people who come to Oslo don't get to see due to the fact they would like to see the tourist attractions which i can fully understand and then again its all about how much time one has to explore.
