We spent our second day in Oslo in the open air museum or the Norwegian Folk Museum after a breakfast at 7-11. There, there are many buildings from various time periods and districts of Norway and also indoor exhibits. It was a bit kitsch and a tourist trap but also interesting too.

Then we took the ferry to the castle and caught the last guided tour, since it closed at 16:00. It was interesting but rushed. Afterward, I dragged Hendrik to the Vigeland Sculpture Park since I had seen it on a postcard and it looked like a place where tourists were supposed to go. It houses many statues by Gustav Vigeland and both of us thought it was very cool. The statues were of nude bodies in various positions representing various stages of life and even though they were quite bulky they formed the park and it all flowed together well.

After Hendrik took a nap in the grass, under the sun, which we were very pleased had accompanied us the whole day it was that time to find food again which wasn’t going to put us into the poor house. Hendrik had a meal at McDonald’s and I got a salad at a sandwich shop which I ate at the campsite. We still spent about 10 Euros each.
