Cruise on Norwegian Jewel

Oslo I did not take many photographs in Oslo as it was heavy rain all the time. We were met at the ship by Sig's cousin Ann Hjort whom he had not met before although he had spoken on the phone. She took us around Oslo and we had lunch together. One of the places we visited was Vigelandsparken containing the life's work of Gustav Vigeland. We also went up to the Olympic ski jump but saw little because of the weather.

St Petersburg
On the first day we visited the Hermitage but I did not have my camera as we thought photography would be difficult. On the second day we took a coach tour which gave us a good feel for the city. It rained at the first stop but the sun soon came out and we had a lovely morning.
