Oslo


After spending my first week hiking and connecting with nature, I would like to take a step back and connect with other aspects that Norway has. In Oslo, I plan on visiting Museums that cover Norway's history. It will be a week where I get to cool down! I plan on visiting a total of 3 museums!
