After spending quite a bit of money on the Stockholm card, I decided to tighten my money belt while in Norway. Besides, I was exhausted from my Stockholm tourist experience - rushing here & there to see as many attractions as possible to get my moneys worth.Oslo, while not as pretty as Stockholm, still had a vibrant energy & people were out & about enjoying the sunshine when it appeared. The parks in the area are splendid & many locals bask on the green grass sunning themselves. The parks here are a deep green, quite a few shades darker than in Sydney. And down by the harbour is delightful too, even if it is quite a bit touristy.
I did manage to see a couple of sights that were free for everyone - the Parliament House, National Museum, & the Sculpture Park. I also chipped in a few kroner to view the Nobel Peace Prize Museum which was similar to the one in Stockholm, but with a sole focus on the Peace Proze recipients.
I was feeling like I needed to get out of the city. I couldn't have picked a better country to escape into.
