It may seem a little strange to only travel 4 kilometres to relocate, but I’ll try to explain.  We arrived in Oslo late yesterday afternoon, if we went directly to the stellplatz we would have had to pay NOK300 (about A$46) just to park over night, as they charge for the night.  As such we stayed in the Colliseum car park for NOK50, which was then free after 8pm, saving about A$37.  But the Colliseum car-park, charges NOK25 per hour after 9am, so if your staying all day your better off at the stellplatz over a full day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its all a bit of a mystery to me but Pam has conducted a cost benefit analysis and it’s better not to argue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we are parked in this huge stellplatz holding 250+ motorhomes and its almost full.  On the edge of the marina facing the bay, so there is a view if your in the front few rows.There is a bus stop just outside the stellplatz and we are soon on the 160 heading into the city.  In less than 10 minutes, the bus driver gives us a wave and suggests we walk down from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We step off the 160 at the National Theatre \ud83c\udfad, but as it was wrapped partially in scaffold not a good photo. So this pavilion and statue nearby is a substitute.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oslo is awash with building projects or so it would seem. The National Parliament with its matching cranes.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Stortingsgata is the central boulevard which host many of Oslo’s feature buildings. It also provides a wonderful display of flowers as you pass by.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We soon find Oslo Cathedral and pop in for a quick look.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As you can see it’s busy in Oslo this morning.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Via the Apple Store, our next find is Oslo’s new opera house, with its vast walkways.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The roof of the opera house provides a great panorama. Click and it should open.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
