Oslo Travel Blogs

My fourth visit to Norway was also my shortest - only 45 hours in total! I must be mad! Well, yeah, I am. But my spring visit to Oslo wasn't a holiday, no, I was here because my mate Jan Henrik was finally marrying his lovely Annelie. Jan Henrik is Norwegian, Annelie is Danish and they met at a fes…

I know its Valentines day and i'm sure most of you celebrate this day:) Me, i have never really given this day any special thought since its not a tradition in our country, but i did make a little effort for a change hehe.. I made my boyfriend a carrotcake in heartshaped. He was off to work so…

It was a beautiful spring day when I walked around Oslo one last time before I left. The day was blessed with enough sunshine to keep me a bit warm because the air was still a bit cold that day. As I can remember, I started from the central station and walked through Karljohan. Stopped by at…

It's really strange to watch the tower go down today but also great to be a witness to history in making.  They told us the crowd, a couple of hundred people, the history of Hollmenkollen. Known people in the skiing industry showed up as well as one of Norways best female skiiers if …

It's quite a route to walk where it started off as very easy and i was thinking hey i can jogg here. THen i got to the hill LOL..I can not jogg that one but i sure can walk it...:) Its a lot of green area and its an excellent place to walk your dog, take the kids for a walk in the pushchair if you …

  Before going to Oslo I received a message from Gudny asking me if I had time to meet her.   It thought it was a great idea to meet her and was looking forward to meet the one that had made the nice Oslo blog. We changed cell phone nr and I promised to message her when I arrived O…

Today my holiday and African adventure started. My flight was not until noon, so I planned to sleep in, but that was not going to happen. Woke up at 4 am, too excited I guess. Wanted to go back to sleep, but the garbage truck and later the paper recycle people made sure I didn´t. Got up at 7:30 am…

will edit later, these pics you see are of the fortress that overlooks the fjord of oslo and the waterfront area next to the fortress. hoping to say more tomorrow.

Its the day before the big day and i've done my research about what to do in Reykjavik. The thing is i don't think one can really get the perfect information on what to see until you ask local people so once i get there i'll do some asking around:) I have already booked my Super Jeep Tour for Tuesd…

i lived and worked in oslo for 4 months. its nice friendly city. especially i liked "Justisen" and "Paragraphen" bars! :) you must visit them if you go to Oslo!

Wow, I had such a long sleep this night. I guess I slept from about 11 PM till 9.30 AM. I tried some walking first but my muscles were pretty stiff and hurted a little aswell. Anyway, that's part of running! After a good shower it was time for Arjen and me to get some breakfast. After breakfast we…

This morning i met up with Gudny and Estephanie to explore Oslo. They both met me at my hostel so thank you both for not making me trekk across the city trying to find you guys.  We first went up to the Ski Jump museum in Oslo, it is WAYYY UP on the hill, and is where one o…

I'm in Oslo now, if you're just wondering where on earth I am. Don´t care? Fine. I just read a message from someone asking me if I'm already in outerspace. Seriously dude, wtf? Am I that cool now? I admit it was sad leaving Ireland, I had so much fun and my host Nina was really nice, kind-hearted…

Went to fill gas on the car and went down to the beach to catch some photos of the sky that was on fire;)

When we were out in the woods today with Fenris the dog we knew there would be a lot more people then us with a dog there. Fenris is quite a big dog as you can tell from the photo's and isn't always an easy guy to go for a walk with when you meet other dogs. Today that happened AGAIN lol.... While…
