We're still in Oslo. We take a local train to visit Holmenkollbakken, a large ski jump on the hill of the same name.

On our way back to the city, we visit the National Gallery of Oslo, which houses some of Edvard Munch's masterpieces such as The Scream. Admission is free.

We return to the harbour to take a boat and tour the Oslo Fjord. The spectacular views.

We strolled around the city center until we saw the "sunset" at the Opera House again.

We notice that near the train station there are people begging and drug addicts. It is a great contrast since they are in the park among the children and it seems to be integrated.

We go back to the hostel and pick up our luggage, at 11 p.m. our train leaves for Bergen.

 

Train from Oslo to Bergen: 110 euros, takes about seven hours.
