Oslo


 We spent the final night of our trip in the Comfort Hotel Express Central Station in a balcony room on the top floor (an excellent budget hotel). This was the view in the morning - clear skies so we decided on a trip to Vigeland Sculpture Park as we had heard so much about it. The unique sculpture park is the life work of the sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron.  Certainly an amazing location though I found some of the statues (especially those on the bridge) quite disturbing.  I have chosen some from the granite Monolith platform and from the bronze Wheel of Life.
