The roads remained empty but the landscape did change as we moved west. There was still lots of forest, with the elk proof fence alongside all motorways but it gradually became more hilly. In fact whilst driving through Norway we drove through mountains and past ski slopes.
Norway did not seem to have as many lakes as we saw in Sweden but the views were still amazing. The top left picture is me enjoying an evening drink on the beach (taken from next to the van).
These are some of the things we saw on the journey from Stockholm to Oslo.
As with the other cities Oslo had some interesting buildings - there was much more of a mixture of styles, including an area with very modern high rise buildings. The traffic was the worst that we had seen. As well as the many cyclists there were also lots of people on 'landskis' - small skis on wheels. I can only assume people are preparing for the snow.
Of course we found another Viking museum. This time it was three boats and items that had been found in burial mounds. Again the details were fantastic and I'm sure there will be a series of work based on the Viking decoration.
