Myself and my best mate were bored one day, logged onto Skyscanner.net and booked flights to Oslo for no reason at all other than that the flights were CHEAP!!

Random Oslo Ski Adventure

I Decided That I No Longer Needed The Ski's That I Had Dragged All The Way Over Here

So with our random flights to Norway, we were all set for a savage weekend away drinking and skiing, not to mention drunk skiing!

Imagine my surprise when I found out that my ski's would be worthless in the snowless Norwegian summer, so disappointed but at least it was raining back home so it was still a win-win situation for me.

Although we arrived pretty late it was still bright out. We took ages trying to find our hostel, Lonely Planet lie, it is not a 5 minute stroll from the train station, its a 20 minute metro journey and then a 5 minute walk! By the time we had got back into town and had a few drinks, we started to wonder about the time.....it was after midnight and I was getting sun burnt sitting outside having a few drinks??!! Brilliant. Well not so brilliant about the sun burn but you know what I mean. It never got dark the whole weekend really.

One other thing we noticed about Oslo, we could not find one single off-licence or supermarket that sold alcohol! Such a disappointment...
