Oslo Norway Vigeland park.

We ride bikes through Oslo's quaint, high end neighborhoods down quiet one lane roads and end up at Vigeland Sculpture Park. This is the highlight of Oslo as it is the largest sculpture park in the world created by one artist....Gustav Vigeland. It represents our circle of life from infancy to adulthood all withrout clothes. Some might call it "penis park" but it is truly remarkable.  "Mad boy" is the most photographed and people think it is lucky to rub his hand which is now worn down to a brassy kind of color. You walk to the fountain with the water overflowing over a  circle of statues and up the final stairs is the tallest sprial of figures with scuptlures leading up to it in about 12  different rows. It was a pretty warm day so felt good riding down the streets and riding the bike through the park passing all the people walking in. It is definitely worth a visit.

Viking Biking tour.

We took Viking Biking tour in Oslo Norway. Bike tours are always my favorite thing to do when traveling. I wish I had a pic of my helmet which looked like a Viking helmet. Rode down to the beach and stopped off at Town Hall which was much prettier inside than outside.

Dinner in Copenhagen at Pate Pate.


 You think that Monday nights weren't so busy for restaurants but they are packed. We tried to eat at BOB (Organic bistro) but you need reservations and there is no walk up list. But if you go around the corner there is another place called "Pate Pate" which has openings and it's just as nice there. I have another mixed drink of Dark Rum, mint leaves and a couple other ingredients. I order the cucumber , pomegranate  with almond salad and the chili cured salmon with dill and avocado. The funny thing is they bring the salmon before the salad. Another great night of food, entertainment and   laughs. It's been a very relaxing 2 days in Copengagen and it's a wonderful, clean , beautiful city. The people are even beautiful with pale nordic skin and blond light hair. It looks like Sting is sitting next to us as dinner but a younger version. The tables are very close in this restaurant. lol. All the waitresses are so nice with great service so my takeaway is an overall great experience.
