-Oslo is lovely and you can see most of what there is to see in the time you have for the extension. We pre-purchased hop on hop off tickets in advance and that enabled us to get around to most of the sights. Unfortunately it looks like the Viking Ship Museum is closed for refurbishments but the Fram and Kon Tiki museums are fun snd close together … easily done in an afternoon. The Vigeland museum/sculpture park is a nice stroll if the weather is nice. We had a lovely lunch on the waterfront during our wandering … we weren’t really lost but couldn’t say exactly where we were! If you are up for some authentic Norwegian food try the Engebret Cafe. It is the oldest restaurant in Oslo and although pricey … the food is good and the service charming.
-The train is lovely … either side will give you great views. The seats are comfortable and when we went the Viking group had a car to ourselves. A tour guide stays with the group the whole time so things ran very smoothly,
-Most of the excursions we took have since changed but in Edinburg any excursion that includes The Britannia is worth doing and St.Andrews is worth a visit. If you liked The DaVinci Code the excursion to Rosalyn is also a good one. We did a pre extension in Edinburg so got to see lots there.
- I’ll stop there … still lots of time to plan!
