Norway Day 3

So would Sunday be notable for an earlier start than Saturday?...No way! 11am again and not leaping around!

Sunday was a bit more tourist stuff, but then dinner at cousin Eivind's with some more of the family.

First up was the Viking Ship museum at Bygdøy. The ships here were actually found in burial mounds which accounts for their state of preservation. There is some discussion about moving them to the city centre in Oslo, but for my money the current museum is hard to beat for its elegant simplicity which makes the boats the complete centre of attention.

Then on to Eivind's for dinner and family and a stroll around the lake.
