Today we took a family outing into the city of Oslo for some touring around. First we went to Vigeland park and it was coooold and for some reason we were not quite bundled up enough :-( Tryfan & I hung out in the car while he slept for a bit, then we high-tailed it to the cafe for some warmth and nourishment, and met the others there. After some lunch and a scamper around the playground, we visited the Akershus castle/ fortress. The light was very flat and Oslo wasn't looking her finest, so I wasn't too inspired to take photos. Here are the troops sitting atop a cannon, though.
We walked around for quite awhile and then circled back up Karl Johans Gate (the main street in Oslo). When we saw the Movenpick ice cream shop, we made a pit stop and indulged in some yummy Swiss ice cream while sitting outside.
About this time, the skies started clearing and the air warmed up to a balmy 40 deg F or so, and we headed back home for a spot of tea and some quiet sunshine. We busted out the beach toys for some snow relocation activities.
The scene in the backyard on Thursday evening ~6pm
Tomorrow we are off to Rjukan in Telemark...
