Baltic Cruise: Oslo, Norway: Aug 28, 2004

Our Baltic Cruise was so long and so incredible that my scrapbook is literally 10 inches thick. I have broken it down by the cities we visited and I have posted just a few pages from each city.

One of the highlights of Oslo was Vigeland's Sculpture Park. It contains 192 sculptures with more than 600 figures, all modeled in full size by Gustav Bigeland without any assistance. The park is designed to take visitors on a journey from infancy, demonstrated by the statue of a baby in a birthing position, all the way to old age. It was an awe inspiring park!


Norway's trademark souvenir is a troll. They were everywhere! We thought this statue was especially cute.


Mark is standing in one of the doorway's of Akershus Fortress. This fortress surrounded the town and protected it from invaders.
