Wednesday, February 01, 2017
Oslo, Oslo, Norway

Slow start since guide late

Up to ski lift all fog but took lift to top but could not see anything
Small ski museum which a ski about 400ad just a plank compared to skis today
400m above the city and a little more snow about 4c compared with about 2c at city level
Bus to Wegghh Park
Group walked through whereas leith and I stayed on bus then a short walk in while waiting
Bus to folk museum where a prepared lunch of thick soup and bread then walk to Stave Church . Leith went inside
Short bus trip to Fram museum
Difficult to know about sunset since thick cloud
Got back just 1/2 hr before we walked to the Opera House since we had booked to see Rossini's Le Cenerentola Rarely performed in Australia Leith was pleased that we could see it. I did check that they had English subtitles. In fact there was a small screen on the back of the seat in front, one could then select Norwegian or English. Worked well
We ate at the House balcony restaurant- down market to their main restaurant however very adequate our table was about 30m from entrance to the auditorium
