Oslo

Our flight from Longyearbyen and three degrees Celsius, took us to Oslo and a stonking 33 degrees Celsius... a poignant reminder of the effects of global warming we had seen in the Arctic. The city was, as expected: clean, tidy and efficient ...and a tad expensive - thank goodness we were staying next to the airport where we found 'reasonably?' priced food. 

Looking up to the palace.

Cool streets....

,,,and welcome fountains.

The Palace ...

..and down to the sea front.

Akershus Fortress and below.

It was really weird being so hot - feeling like Spain, exploring Trujillo, but no lizards or snakes.
