OsloBG: A visit to Akershus Fortress and Castle
It was a great time we had together during the OsloBG. As you might have observed from other Blogs and Facebook reports from the Event: Oslo is a City of contrasts. New and old hand in hand.
Friday, August 20 – part 1
Brunch Table in Winterhome – Lifecruisers and Lazaza’s
Waiting for the Bus (Free ride with Oslo Pass)
Arrived at Oslo Central Station
A cup of coffee before entering the Fortress and Castle
Tombs of King Hakon 7 and Queen Maud to the left and King Olav 5 and Crown Princess Märtha to the right.
Details from The Akershus Castle in Oslo
More details from Akershus Fortress and Castle in Oslo, Norway.
Claudie is entering ....
The Dining Room
More details and the Chappel
A big Room for 6 people to have a meal. So it was in the Medivial – in Royal families
And outside a Cruiseship suddenly brought us back to 2010.
More to come from Friday, August 20-2010…

Of all the pictures I liked the cruise ship the very best. Well I'm sure that's not a surprise to anyone.
Have a terrific day. Big hug to you both. :)
All those people on the photos are familiar to me!!! Strange!!! Hi, hi! I was very impresse visiting the castel and admiring the beauty of the mobels, paintings, decorations... We could imagine the royals living there at their time. And remember, we chose our cabin on the cruiseship!!! We are ready for a next cruise!
I just told Vagabonde that I've been eagerly awaiting all these Blog-Gathering pics, Tor. THANK YOU.
Looks just like my dining room, lol !
Nice pictures of the four !
Nice job! I have not been in all the rooms, some of the castle fortress has been reopened since the last time I have had a tour. They have been working on it a lot in recent years.
That really is a grand fortress, loved all the things inside and outside - and the company :-)
So many great photos of you Tor - maybe I don't have to bother about my photos.... *giggles*
