We spent just under a week staying in Oslo, with a little time out for looking round the city. The excellent IETF social event, hosted by Ericsson, was held at the site of some maritime-historical museums, housing Thor Heyerdahl's original Kon-Tiki raft, and the ship Fram, and old wooden sailing vessel used for arctic exploration.

Oslo is home to some wonderful and sometimes surprising street furniture. The statues of a reindeer(?) family among the trees, and the "dandelion" fountain are just a couple. | |
| The IETF social event - there really was something for everyone here.
Right: the Arctic exploration ship, Fram. Below: food and entertainment on the waterfront, looking back across the Fjord to towards central Oslo. |

| Oslo's Vigeland park. An unusual, fascinating park, combining these very distinctive scuptures with open space, trees, gardens and water. (See here for more details.) |  |
