The final destination on Bygdøy is the Fram Museum named after the ship that took Roald Amundsen to be the first human at the South Pole. The ship is massive, requiring climbing several stories to cross a metal bridge to step onto the ship. I happily explored the rest of the museum including learning about his exploring the Northwest Passage whilst the family undertook that adventure. #foodandlit #Norway @Catsandbooks @Butterfinger @AnneCecilie

Catsandbooks Yikes! No climbing for me! 4y
Texreader @Catsandbooks Exactly. And then there was that part of crossing the skinny metal bridge over several stories of empty space that made me queasy. 4y
