Hei, god morgen
   Well, no snow today! We started our day at the Munch Museum. It is a museum that houses the artwork of Edvard Munch. He is the artist that painted "The Scream". Unfortunately,  that painting is on loan to the National Gallery.  The museum was doing an exhibition about the similarities between Munch and Melgaard. I must say, Melgaard's art is not for me.
   Our next stop was the National Gallery.  Unfortunately,  it was closed today. So, we did not get to see Munch's "The Scream". Since it was closed, we walked to the Nobel Peace Museum. It was closed too. We were striking out all over the place. Next, we went to the Ankerhus Castle. It is an old stronghold and prison. It now is part of a military base.
   Finally we climbed the roof of the opera house. The opera house has a roof that slopes and looks more like a ramp. So, we climbed the roof. It was a beautiful view of the Oslo harbor and sound. We then spent the rest of the afternoon just walking around.
    We headed back to the hotel to rest and get ready for a long trip home tomorrow. It is hard to believe that three weeks is over already.  This trip as been nothing shot of amazing and I have loved every minute of it. I must say though, I am getting a little homesick. It will be nice to come home!
Farvel og god natts

Oslo harbor with all the boats. This is a boating town, but their boats are much different than at home.

The opera house. See how the roof looks like a long ramp? 

After the climb! It was quite windy today making it feel much colder than it actually was.
