I agree Norwegian, it isn't supposed to be "entertaining" but when i was there it was pretty spartan, ie bare rooms with the brass plaques. I am a huge WWII buff and read The Diary of Anne Frank. irealize what she went through. i guess I was a bit disappointed at what I got to see for my money. please realize this european vacation of mine was funded by many trips to the plasma bank and several thousand wheelbarrow loads of wet concrete hauled by yours truly. Parting with that hard earned money was difficult.



I have traveled in Europe four separate times and I am always amazed at how much history there is to see. i have even been to your fine country once. I biked through the Lofoten islands for a week and then visited Oslo. A beautiful city. I was very intrigued with the city park that had all the statues, The obelisk in the center composed of all the people was very interesting. i also read that many citizens of Oslo are not as impressed with the staues as I was. Is this true?



i hope i didn't offend you with my Anne Frank cooments. it was not intended.

Very cool to hear that you have visited Norway, and especially North Norway, Cowdoc. The Lofoten islands is really something. Maybe you visited Tromso as well, it is Rommel, Kleerance and my native town, and maybe the host for the Winter Olympics 2018?

Now my office is next to the city park with all the statues in Oslo. And I think that everyone in Oslo are impressed with the statues. Btw - it is a story about how Gustav Vigeland got the idea for the obelisk with all the people on top of each other ("Monolitten"). He was in Scotland and in a city centre a guy tossed a coin high up in the air, and then suddenly he saw the model of "Monolitten"................

And I didn't get offenden at all with your Anne Frank comments. I can understand your point in the first post. It is not a good idea to visit her house with a nasty hangover!
