Oslo, Norway. Day 9
The 27th of June
That day I went to Holmenkollen to see its famous ski jump tower and to look at Oslo from the height. It was wonderful day! The only thing that I regret I didn’t go to the ski museum. I didn’t want to spend 100 NOK (around 18 USD). Instead I spent much more in a souvenir shop.
It was the first time I took Oslo’s subway. The part I was riding wasn’t underground so I had a chance to see Oslo more. To my surprise it went really slow comparing to subway of Kiev. But I realize lately that it goes up all the way so it has to use much more power than in Kiev. And the route was so zigzagged.
So, here are some photos from Holmenkollen.
The figure that meets you when you go a little bit up from the station.
This is the ski jump tower how it’s seen from the point of figure (see above).
This is the chairlift that didn’t work at that time. Actually the whole arena around ski jump tower was being reconstructed.
But it didn’t prevent guest from climbing up the tower and having fun. 
I climbed the tower too. But I climbed the left side. After I and an elderly couple climbed it we realized that souvenir shop and museum and ski jump simulator are located on the right side! And there is no way to go to the right side other than go down and then up again. By the way the ski simulator they have is the best! I even felt snow to my face
Oh, how much my legs hurt then! It’s not very high itself but the steps are very steep and high.
This is me with a ski troll. I was alone so I had to ask that couple that went up to the right side then down and to the left side with me to make a photo. They were pleased.
Holmenkollen Chapel.
Unfortunately There wasn’t anybody who could shoot me with this statue. It looked marvelous!
Oslo is sure the greenest city! So many trees and parks.
