Oslo Fjord Cruise

We spent the day on the Oslo Fjord! 


Here's our boat, an electric catamaran. It was not very full at all, with perhaps 25 passengers. We left the Oslo dock at 11am, stopped at Oscarsborg (a fortress on an island), and got to Drøbak by 1pm, just in time for a late lunch.


Oslo sites: City Hall (on left), and Akershus fortress


Fjord sights: Lighthouse 

Sailboat 

Tiny house on a tiny island (could you see living here?)

Another boat (there were many!)

Drøbak 



We aimed for a restaurant for lunch, and started chatting with a fellow there - an hour later, we were wrapping it up, and started to check our menus 🙂.
It rained off and on all afternoon, so we ducked into a few shops (including the Christmas store 🤪). We were back on the dock well before our 4:15pm departure time, a little bit soggy and chilly. It sure felt good to get back inside! By 6pm, we were hunting up our bus/tram ride home - Hot chicken soup for dinner!
