Oslo



Catch a tiger by the tail... Every child and Murray wanted to play with the tiger outside the central railway station


We stayed with Olé out across the harbour at Nesodden, on the tip of the peninsula. The first  airbnb place we've had where the host lives at their home and you are with them as a guest. He invited us to join him and some friends, who'd sailed across from Oslo for the weekend and moored down below, for dinner, grilled over a charcoal fire on the rocks.




One living space for lounge, studio, dining and office, It's quite dreamy!

Looking back across to Oslo, ferry terminal is just below




Walked around the next few bays...






It's only 20 mins on the ferry to Oslo. These new buildings near the opera house caused contention as they were too conspicuous on the waterfront. Locals call them 'The Barcode'



It's very cool walking up on the roof of the opera house with views out over the harbour. It's all layered, textured marble, faceted like a huge glacier.

The harbour is very beautiful with a wonderful array of ships
