The Norwegian King?

I guess I kind of knew that Norway had a king, but never really gave much thought to it. Anyway, today, as we were walking back through Oslo to our place, we happened upon the “castle”. It’s not really a castle, it actually looks more like a big government building. But, if you notice the flag up in the middle, that means the King and Queen are home.

As we were walking past (you can actually get right up to the front door), we noticed a band playing in the background. Turns out, we were just in time for the changing of the guards.

I don’t really know what the big deal is, but it was an interesting process to watch:


Anyway - That was kind of cool. You can see the rest of the guard pictures here.
