Sporty's First Full Day in Oslo, Norway

When I went through passport control to get into Norway, the official lady asked how many people in my party. When I told her I was traveling alone, she said, "You're certainly sporty." There you have it, my new nickname, Sporty.

In keeping with that theme, the hotel assigned me a roommate since I'm traveling solo.

Oslo is a marvel on many fronts, and I've just scratched the surface.

Who knew saunas were such a mainstay right downtown and next to the fjord?

Small saunas.

Large saunas.

And lots of cool public art.
