Aker Bygge and some jerk...

Before another day turned into another day waiting around watching the clock slowly go by on a bad whether day, which we've only had a small hand this past 6 weeks. Adam and I took the train down to Aker Bygge.  Adam hadn't be sightseeing down there yet. So we jumped off the train at the one short stop from Majorstuen at Nationaltheatre and made our way around the harbour. Its surrounded by the Oslo fjords and the Akershus Castle which over looks the area. 
The whether wasn't really showing us what Norway has to really offer but we made the most of it. There plenty to see and do in a short space of time. Basically, we walked around for a hour or two enjoyed our beautiful new city we've to live for the next year or two....

Adam was pretty stoked the bird and I stayed completely still for this shot.
