Oslo; Monday, 29 May, 2023

The journey wasn’t quite the same as the previous day as the driver took a few diversions to avoid some heavy traffic on the E18, though that still didn’t stop us getting caught up in heavy Public Holiday traffic coming back into Oslo and by the time we arrived at the bus terminal we were 50 minutes late.

From the bus terminal we headed over to the final hotel of the trip to check-in and have the included dinner, before catching the tram from directly outside the hotel down to the waters front at Aker Brygge for an evening drink.

After heading back to the hotel I popped back out again and headed down to the Opera House, close to the railway station.

Opened in 2008 the whole building was designed to be climbed up, with a gradual sloping roof leading to a terrace on the top of the main auditorium that offers views over the city and the fjord, and for the first time on the trip I managed to actually watch the sun set.

Having taken in the sunset I headed back to the hotel to turn in.
