Tuesday 28th March


We started at the school at 8 am and did some work on the project "Erasmus +". Later we took the bus to the Ferry station in Nesodden. We arrived in Oslo and met our tour guide.The weather was sunny. First, we walked to Akerselva, a river which flows through the whole city. Akerselva was the industrial center from the 1840s to 1970s. Now the river is used for offices and leisure time. The river is also called "green lung of Oslo", there are many paths for hiking and cycling. Next to the river there are a lot of old buildings. The oldest one is from the 17th century. Furthermore, we saw a building which is called "Hausmania". It is a house for artists. Many of the old factories have been turned into new uses for example like cafès and restaurants. We walked from Grønland to Mathallen( foodhall), there we a had lunch at 1o'clock. Some of us ordered sushi, pizza or pasta.
After lunch we took the tram to "Vigelandsparken". "Vigelandsparken" is in the destrict Frogner, so the park is also called ''Frognerparken''.The park is filled with naked sculptures and shows the circulations for each life stages. The most popular sculptures are "Sinnataggen"  and "Monalitten". "Sinnataggen" is a male baby sculpture which stamps and cries. "Monalitten" is a pillar which is about 17m high with 121 people in it. The sculptor Gustav Vigeland made all 212  sculptures in the park. His idea of showing different activities like walking dancing love and death imparts emotions to the visitors. Finally, everyone was allowed to walk around in the park and visit Oslo again. We went to the castle, the parliament and the university.
