Lots to see in this wonderful city. This was our second time here and we stayed in the waterfront area. The opera house was a marvel of modern design. We visited the Resistance Museum, which was enlightening. My history lessons addressed WWII, but not the role of the resistance in any detail. The Norwegian resistance efforts were awesome. We enjoyed walking in the sunshine through an old castle/fortress. I am so ready for summer after this wet and cold spring. 
Sailing out through the fiords was wonderful. We sat on the stern in the sunshine with a bottle of champagne and a quiet dinner alfresco. 
With all the islands, there are many lighthouses to see. We weren't able to identify the lights at the time, but since we came home, Don has identified most of the lights. They were manned to this day, well used and had charming cottages and docks. 
Most of the islands in the fiords of Scandanavia have summer houses accessible by boat.
