Last weekend I went to Oslo to visit a couple of childhood friends who live there, Markus and Martin. When I arrived on friday two other friends had already spent a couple of days... and nights in Oslo, Roger and Keso.
I took a flight through Norwegian airlines and since I didn't check any luggage in it was a very smooth flight. Took about 50 minutes to fly, 40 minutes by buss from Gardemoen to Oslo and then another 7 or so minutes to my friends appartment. Felt like I was one minute sitting at work dreaming about a cold beer and the next I was in Oslo drinking one.
The first evening we went to a pub and the morning after I imidieately visited Vinmonopolet. I just had to check out the local supply of beer. I'll tell you more about this in part 2. After a quick breakfast we headed out to Huk, which seems to be where a large part of the Oslo population goes to bath and enjoy the sun. After burning myself into a crispy bacon shape we headed back for some food and beer.

Just arrived at Huk, the weather was really nice. Markus, Martin and Roger are getting a couple of blankets out. Well Roger is just supervising the work ;)
The water was great, not as cold as I would have expected.
Nice view.
On our way back to the appartment. It's in central Oslo.
It's wednesday but it still burns.

I really had a good time in Oslo and it was allot of fun spending time with my friends again. Also, thanks for the hospitality guys :)
Looks like Oslo treated you well mate. I think you visited during the weekend in years, so kudos on your timing ^^
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry I didn't go north to visit. Just too many other things to do these past 2 weeks, and one more to go before I can semi-relax :P
Looking forward to part 2!
Yeah I had a great time in Oslo. :D Definitely have to come back sometime. To bad I didn't know that I would be going ahead of time to give you a headsup. I found the cheaper tickets the day before I left so it was a bit last minute.
ReplyDeletePart two is posted and Im now working on part 3.
I must say that the photographer that took the picture of you with the Oslo sign on the beach, had the wrong focus. The focus should be more to the left :)

Are you suprised if I tell you that the photographer also took such a picture? ;)
