Day 3

Well we had a lovely sleep until about 3.30am when the people next door got ready to leave....banging , crashing loud voices and high heels...grrrrr so after an hour of this we were up!!  had a lovely breakfast at the hotel and then it was off on the hop on hop off bus to the 1st of our stops for the day....

Some of the carving's from around the ships.

We arrived at the Viking Museum....they had three Viking ships on display that were excavated between 1867 to 1904 from the Oslo Fjord area.  built during the 9th century A.D. and used later as burial ships for wealthy men and woman.

Then we walked to the FROM Museum to see the original ship that was the only one to travel to the south and north pole.  Built in the late 1800's.
  Once again Map boy's (Evan) talent's lead us to the ferry as our ticket for the Hop on Hop Off bus had expired!! MY Hero!

Eskimo Greg!

The Fortress that was never captured  since it was built

We then caught the ferry across to the other side for Lunch and then a walk to the Fortress before doing a 2 hour Fjord cruise at 3.30pm.

We had a lovely day weather wise as it was 20 degrees and sunny!!  I got a little pink today:)
It is certainly a different lifestyle here by seeing  all the houses on the water front....especially in summer.
The Fjord is 154 metres deep. It's the 2nd largest Fjord in Norway and was created during the ice-age and allows the big cruise ships to come right into Oslo instead of ferrying passengers in...

Terri enjoying the view.

When we docked back in we walked to the Oslo Ice Bar.....got a big furry cape to wear and gloves and then we walked in to the bar for our vodka based drinks in our ice glasses.....I wish the music had been better Justin Beiber only made me want to drink more...lol

Sharon, Greg and Terri ...Cheer's!

Back to the hotel and then back to the  Kristina's Pub  for a light dinner....then Bed as we were all a bit weary.....tomorrow start's our exciting adventure to Ice and Polar Bears....YEAH!
