Norway 2011-Post #3 “Oslo!”

On our final day in Norway, we had a visit to Akershus University Hospital, which is the 2nd Digital Hospital in Norway.

Some more views from our hotel!

Rob Sloat, Ray Giles and I visited the Akershus University Hospital just northeast of the city of Oslo. It is recognized as the 2nd Digital Hospital in Norway and utilizes the same technologies as St Olav’s University Hospital in Trondheim. Those technologies form the base of the HP Digital Hospital program.

After our visit to Akershus, we took the afternoon off to sight see!

After touring the centre of the city, we went to the harbour to Aker Brygge

Aker Brygge is the place for shopping and restaurants
lots of ice on the harbour
time for a warm beverage inside in the mall!

Well that’s all from Oslo! We took the train from the downtown station out to the airport and went our various ways!

My itinerary took me from Oslo to London, where I spent the night at an airport hotel, and home to Canada the following morning. It was very strange to be in England, but not really, if you know what I mean!

Cheers!
