This blog is an adjunct to my G+ and FaceBook postings. I'm always feeling constrained by the necessary brevity of microblogging so these longer entries will be where I write text without double-editing. However, my more convoluted/rambling thoughts will go into my other, older blog: Recherche Critique. Both blogs will also be Public whereas my G+ and FB postings are only shared with my private circles.

Cruise Day 1 Oslo
We spent a pleasant day wandering around Oslo. Several museums, lots of boats (Viking, Arctic etc). Perfect walking weather. The City Hall was a surprise treat and the Munch exhibit was an eye opener to a lot more if this artist's work than just The Scream.
In order we:
-walked past Akershus Slott (castle) on the way from the dock.
- caught the ferry over to the Bygdoy peninsula
- visited the Vikingskipshuseet
- visited the Kon-Tiki Museum
- visited the Frammuseet museum
- took the return ferry to the city
- walked into the Radhus (City Hall)
- visited the Nasjonalgalleriet and its Munch 150 exhibit
- walked through the streets and up one side of the Det Kongelige Slott (Royal Palace)
- back through the main shopping street (Karl Johans Gate)
- past the National Theatre and Stortinget (Parliament)
- into the Domkirke
- did some minor shopping - stamp, drink
- finally, dropped into the tourist info centre to find out where to post a card
After that it was a short walk back to the ship.
