Since two days ago we didn’t activate our Oslo Card until 11:00 am we still have an hour available to use it – In fact we calculate that it has saved us some 360 Nkr each (~ $Can 50). So we have yet to visit Akerhus Fortress and the Norwegian Resistance Museum, both of which we accomplished. Right afterward, in honour of the Crown Princess Merth’s b’day there is a 21-Gun Salute, which we get to witness close-up – well not too close, we were advised – surprisingly loud, with rumbling of the ramparts on which we were standing.
Next we head over to the Palace to watch the changing of the guard, hoping to visit the interior of the City Hall en route, but for some reason it is closed to the public today – perhaps tomorrow. We stop off at the TI again, this time to pickup tickets for the Airport train for tomorrow night (110 Nkr) It’s drizzling now, and a bit “dreich” (Old Scots word – meaning damp and chilly) so we reach the palace, but don’t linger – instead coffee and waffles with jam call us. The rest of the day we are sight-seeing overloaded so we just “veg”. Tomorrow we fly out to Stockholm at 7:30 pm, but before we go we hope to get into City Hall (free), and also visit the National Gallery (also free). TTFN!
