Akershus

Back from Bgdoy I wanted to try our luck with a ferry to another island but it was getting too late for a round trip and our feet were too tired to rush. Instead we visited Oslo's medieval fortress, Akershus which dominates the city's shoreline with its original 13C stone walls. However it wasn't the highlight of our visit and not as easy to capture on film as all the nature we'd been visiting, or maybe we were just too tired to appreciate it. So here's a photo of a giant Tetris piece that had been left in the gardens of the castle as you first enter. Oslo is abundantly decorated with thousands of modern sculptures of all sizes and styles, including a random scattering of seatless chairs that surprised us after first being delighted to have found somewhere to rest our feet. A broken chair we found later on was probably just a broken chair, but this city can surprise you like that so who knows.
