Notes
Norway occupies the western part of the Scandinavian peninsula. Over 500 sq km of Norway lies north of the Arctic Circle, but the country's western coast usually remains ice free year-round thanks to the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. It is a ruggedly beautiful country of mountains, fjords and glaciers. It offers incredible wilderness hiking, year-round skiing, and some of the most scenic ferry, bus and train rides imaginable. The Land of the Midnight Sun has delightfully long summer days, pleasantly low-key cities, unspoiled fishing villages and rich historic sites that include Viking ships and medieval stave churches.  International
Baptist Church at Sandvika is 20 minutes away from Oslo by car. A
must see in Oslo is the Akershus Fortress, a medieval fortress and castle
built around 1300. Vigeland Park is a wonderful expanse of greenery,
duck ponds and rows of shady trees - the ideal place for leisurely strolls
and picnics on the lawn. Its central walkway is flanked with life-size
statues by Gustav Vigeland, a prolific artist who presented the human form
in a range of emotions and poses. If you are visiting the International
