Still on land of the vikings. It took me about 6 hours to get to Oslo from Stockholm, by train. Surprisingly there is no immigration check in between the countries. As I thought Stockholm was cold, the temperature here in Oslo is even colder. In Stockholm and Oslo, the trees are yellowish as the winter is approaching.
Like Stockholm, the price of ever single thing here is ridiculously expensive. But in term of the buildings, Oslo has a little bit modern touch into it.
Oslo was our last destination. It was a relief completing the trip and right after the last meeting wrapped up, the organizers had arranged us for a sight seeing tour. Luckily for us, we got to visit the place where ski-jumping was held and a park with thousands of nude sculpture with abstract messages about life, The Frogner Park. I realized that art and literature is very popular among the Europeans as they recognized their poet and artist for remembrance.
On the 2nd day, before my flight back to London-Kuala Lumpur, I managed to go to the Vikings Museum. There are 3 viking ships inside and they simply amazed me on how the ships from the 800AD can last that long till today. They even used screws like we do! To get to the museum, we took a bus and a ferry. Only 1 ticket is required to use all the public transport within 24 hours.
We got back to London late in the evening before taking our flight back to Kuala Lumpur the next day. Visiting Europe is really once in a lifetime experience, a humbling one to know how great God creations are.
Alhamdulillah.
