Last Day in Oslo

We wake up and have another lovely hotel breakfast and then head out to stroll around the Opera, it's a really cool Opera, it's by the water and you can walk on it's roof.  Seriously cool architecture going on here.

After this, we got on the Metro train and went to Holmenkollen where the very popular "Ski Jump"  and Ski jump museum is as well as beautiful panoramic views of Oslo.  We weren't sure what would be going on there that day, but were totally pumped when we arrived and learned that the FIS World Cup for Ski Jump was going on.  We bought our tickets and in we go! I swear I could watch those fearless ski jumpers jump over and over and over and over again.  I didn't want to leave.

Ski Jumping fans!

Check out the ski jumper in yellow pants in this picture! Gotta love it!

I'll end by saying Oslo is great and we'd totally go back.

A few other things to do in Oslo that we didn't have time for:
Edvard Munch Museum ("The Scream" artist), The Viking Ship Museum (they have two in house), The Mini Bottle Gallery, Winter Walking Tours, and Oslo Winter Park where you can go skiing or snowboarding (they even have evening skiing).
