Day 4 Holmenkollen, Vikings & Opera

We love the public transportation system here. It's easy to get anywhere in the city.  Today we took the metro line, the tram, and the public ferry.



Our first stop was the great ski jump Holmenkollen. We went to the very top of it and had a view of Oslo and the fjords.







We had a nice lunch taking in the view.



We took the metro line to the public ferry.  It's so civilized to have good public transportation.



Next we visited the Viking Museum. We saw the three best preserved Viking ships found in Norway-all of which had been buried for over 1,000 years in royal burial mounds.



We then walked in the Byrdoy neighborhood stopping to look at the beautiful homes.




Next stop was the Folk Art Museum.



Mitzi had her first taste of lefse grilled over a wood fire. She loved it.



We finally visited the Opera House which we can see from our balcony.



We had a lovely dinner overlooking the harbor.



Tomorrow we fly to the far north into the port of  Kirkenes.
