From Vigelandparken we caught the bus #30 to Vikingskipene on Bygdoy Island. Saw three massive Viking ships from 1100 years ago that were used for long sea voyages (as far away as Newfoundland and
Mediterranean) that, once retired, were used as burial ships.
We next visited Ekebergparken, a 63 acre forested park that opened in 2013 - gifted to the city of Oslo by real estate tycoon and heir to beer fortune, Christian Ringnes. The park is rather like a personal gallery for his collection of sculptpures - mostly female (although there is one noticeable male sculpture in bright yellow).
