We were thinking these had been pretty impressive days . . . but then came Sunday. We had saved a few free museums because our three-day Oslo passes had expired, so we first stopped at the Rådhus (city hall), not knowing what to expect. We were absolutely blown away. It is in this building’s great marble hall that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded every year.

The place is filled with painted murals that are just captivating. We decided it was the best part of the trip so far. (If you visit, it might be worthwhile to wait until a Sunday, when none of the other meeting rooms, also beautifully muraled, are being used for ordinary political business.)

Three times we have been able to end our day in the city by finding a sports bar and watching the end of the Tour de France. It’s a great way to relax after being on our feet so much of the day. And that’s when it rained again today--while we were safely inside.
