The flexicard cost me KR160 (about £15) and could be used for 8 trips at anytime. Each time I hopped on the bus (or tram or boat) the ticket was stamped and was valid for one hour. A normal ticket would have cost me KR30 just for one trip into the city centre from Rislakka, about 20 minutes away. (KR11 = about £1 - April 2006)

These can be bought on the bus from the driver, or at numerous outlets all over the city of Oslo.

Vigeland Park is a huge park in which to stroll and browse the sculptures of Vigeland - both bronze and stone – which are overwhelming in their beauty and size. The children I was with were climbing all over the sculptures at the top of the stairs, near the monolith crawling with naked stone bodies! What a wonderful experience. Ideal in summer, but lovely in winter too.

Right in the centre of Oslo;

This new centre has been set up on the new Oslo waterfront. The quality of the documentary movies - all nice and short - is excellent and the centre itself is a moving reminder of how we can each make a contribution to peace in this world.

I felt safe as a single woman traveller. This B&B was very clean and central. Breakfast was served "in bed", and the host was kind, friendly and helpful.
