Today, we are going to another neighborhood, this one closer to our hotel. The Hotel Continental was so convenient, because it was in the Theatre District and right across the street from the big tram complex. You could walk one way and be in the Uptown area and walk another and be at the Aker…

Walking Home in Oslo: Well That Would Mean to the Hotel
We’re still walking back from Vigeland Park……..Wow, what a day we’ve had, and as not to walk through the same neighborhood twice, we are going down different streets to get back to the hotel. I think we are in the Briskehy neighborhood (don’t quote me on that) and it is more laid back! My kind…
The End: The Final Walk Through Vigeland Park
One final walk through the Vigeland Sculpture Garden! We are making our way back down the hill with some new views for you! We’re back at the bridge, another view! I love the side view of the bridge, don’t you? And, the park beyond…….. I couldn’t resist showing a few more sculptures on the way…
Thursday Doors: Another Peek at Oslo
We walked from the Continental Hotel, in the Theatre District, to the Royal Palace, and on, through two neighborhoods to get to Vigeland Park ………These photos are from the first neighborhood after the Palace and from my map, if I’m reading it correctly (a big if here) the first neighborhood is in the Uranienberg block….

Vigeland Park, Oslo, Norway: Part 2
We are making our way up, up, and up in Vigeland Park! I hope you have been following along………this park is just so interesting and unusual! We are now beyond the bridge and past a rose garden, getting nearer to the fountain. Still lots of visitors! In 1900, Gustav Vigeland made a small model of…
Vigeland, the Sculptor’s Park
Hellooooooooo 2022! It’s been a while since I last posted! I am going to start off the New Year in the Vigeland Sculpture Garden in Oslo, Norway! I loved everything about Norway, from the small fishing villages and outposts (and all the goats) to the big city, in comparison, of Oslo! I would definitely go…
Thursday Doors: Oslo, Norway
Today, for a few doors of the Doorscursion, we are headed back to Oslo! This is the Scots Man Restaurant………looking good! As with all outdoor seating in cafés and restaurants, your seat comes with a blanky……..the month was August! Be sure to look up, so you don’t miss architectural details! We stayed at the beautiful…
Just Strollin’ in Oslo
OK, I know I said I’d be movin’ on to the burbs of Oslo a few posts ago, but when I look at my photos there is so much to show! So, we’re walkin, walkin……………You can see how close to the sea we always are! Oslo is simply a large park! With many statues…..they are…
Thursday Doors: A Walk in Oslo
We’re starting out in the park today and going door hunting from there! Oslo is chock full of parks and statues in the historic and theater areas…… This fellow was across the street from our hotel in the Theater District. Per Aabel was a popular Norwegian comedian and actor. After studying ballet in London he…
Thursday Doors: The Big Picture in Oslo, Norway
We are done (BOO HOO) with the cruise, but now we are spending some time in Oslo! I thought I would start with the big picture of the City Center of Oslo and then with future posts go with the more detailed doors. Karl Johans Gate Street is divided with a park in the center…
Haugesund, Norway: On the Waterfront
Did I mention it was a cold, blustery, full on, red-cheek day, in August, when we visited Haugesund? Well it was, but we began our tour of the city with a brisk walk of the harbor, that went on and on, with boat after boat! The old warehouses along the harbor have been beautifully restored…
Thursday Doors: Haugesund, Norway
We’ve arrived in Haugesund on a very blustery, Sunday morning! This is a metropolis compared to the last few stops we have made in Norway! Haugesund once had a bustling herring industry, but now has gone over to the petroleum industry…..and I think the town has lost part of its charm because of it. There…
It’s Been a Good Time to Read a Book!
I’ve had a very good time reading this book, Keeping Christmas, by Kathleen Stokker, and learning about the Christmas traditions in Norway! It fit in perfectly with my Norway series, which I am about to start up again, since we’re not through Norway just yet! The book begins with the link between Viking customs and…
