We went to the Holmenkollen National Ski Center on a hill outside of the city. A very modern ski jump has replaced the previous ones (the first one was built in 1892). The ski jump is awesome when looking at it from any angle. Snow and TV hide the verticality. There is a ski jump simulator there but we did not get to try it (not that we would want to!). There is also a biathlon track. Someone was practicing shooting and many people were out on roller-skis training on the track.
We had our Farewell Dinner at the hotel. We were the only ones in the atrium restaurant and the meal was very good.
Fri., 10/9/15 – Oslo to Frankfurt to Denver
Our flights home were uneventful and the drive home was a welcome relief after all of our exciting and unique travels. As always it is very nice to come home to Estes Park. This was another really interesting, different, and enjoyable trip!
