Last stop in Norway - Oslo

This is the whole gang waiting at the train station in Bergen.  It's quite early in the morning and it was raining and cold outside.

The Bergen to Oslo train ride was spectacular!!!  We climbed through beautiful fjords to a high plateau where things looked mighty rough, especially in the weather we were having.  These pictures are the best that could be done through train windows.

Wow, you talk about isolated, in the middle of nowhere.  We just couldn't imagine, it only being September, how it must look around here in mid January.

Now we're off of the plateau, having gone through a pass.  Trees came back and the weather got better.

But the whole train ride, really, had intervals of rain.  We'd think, Oh, it's clearing up now.  But always up ahead, past the clearing, we could see a new line of clouds and pretty soon, it'd be raining again.  It was great!

Once in Oslo, we made our way from the train station to our hotel.  After checking in, we walked to an area called Aker Brygge, which was by the water and had lots of nice ships and many nice restaurants.  Most of them were quite expensive, but we ended up in one that seemed a little less expensive than the others.  We had a good meal there with a nice view to the water.  These are some views around the area.

Walking back to our hotel, we took another route and found a nice pedestrian street with souvenir shops that we plan on visiting before we leave.
