After a ‘really’ leisurely morning, Anders and Ragnhild, took us to see the Vigeland Museum to view the magnificent sculptures produced by Norway’s best-loved sculptor, Gustav Vigeland. Here, there are over 200 granite and bronze sculptures that are simply amazing. The sculptures are of people of all ages, from tranquil elderly couples to a small ill-humoured child (Sinataggen). There are traditional static poses to others catching an individual(s) midway through movement. It really was a thrill to see.
After the museum, Anders (our Oslo taxi-driver) took us on a tour of Oslo to see the areas around the University of Oslo, the older rejuvenated parts of the city, and places where he and Ragnhild lived when they were going to school. It was really special to hear them talk about their early days and times.
In the evening, we were all invited next door for coffee and desert with Tove and Steinar. They are such warm people. No wonder they are such good neighbours and best friends to Ragnhild and Anders.
