Last day in Oslo. With the comfort of air conditioning & a lingering cold, sleep was on my mind last night. And not going anywhere in a hurry this morning was also a big priority.
Lingering rain showers made sure we did not get an early start.

First stop, the Resistance Museum (Norges Hjemmefront Museum)
It is a very well displayed museum highlighting Norway's occupation and resistance in World War ll. It was interesting to read about Quisling and how the war effected Norway. From my perspective, they played a small role. I don't know that they over did it on Norway's war efforts in the museum. Let's just say they are very proud of themselves.
Good for them!
From the museum, we wandered over to the castle of Akershus fortress, where Quisling was executed in 1945. We only had time for a fast peak into the rooms....closing time was imminent.

A stop in front of the Nobel Peace Center to listen to 4 street musicians who sounded like they did the score for "Some Like it Hot". Right out of the 1920's.
Pasta at an Italian restaurant completed our quiet afternoon.
Looking forward, as always to our (brief) stop in Amsterdam.
Beyond Amsterdam, as always, there is no place like home!
