20180714 Walking to hotel (6 photos)

Walking back to our hotel, we encounter new and familiar street scenes. The gazebo stands at one end of the lake gardens. The middle three photos enhance a pedestrian area. The last two show the fish market from another direction and the historical building housing the Starbucks we visited yesterday.

I manage to use my time wisely to shop at the museum store while waiting for tour to begin. Not revealing any souvenirs at this time!

20180714 Art museums (5 photos)

After breakfast, Jim and I store luggage and take a short taxi ride to the four Kode museums with my goal of attending the guided tour of the Edvard Munch exhibition. Other than his well- known painting The Scream, I yearn to know more about the man and his work. The group of Kode art museums occupy one side of a lovely and popular park. (Note the middle photo in panorama style.)
