• When in Oslo… do as the Norwegians do

    When in Oslo… do as the Norwegians do - that’s the saying, yeah? 😅🤷‍♂️ This morning, we set off to explore the city with a walk through Oslo’s vibrant Bjørvika district. Our first stop was at Kveitemjøl, a small bakery with the most massive cinnamon buns you’ll ever see - a treat that was more than worth the indulgence. With our (… or rather, my) sweet cravings satisfied, we headed towards the Akershus Festning where we soaked in the fortress’s rich history and enjoyed the incredible views of the Oslo Fjord. After exploring the site, we retraced our steps back to where we had started - however, this time making our way further to the Astrup Fearnley Museet. While some of the exhibitions were… unconventional, the museum’s picturesque waterfront setting made up for it! As we made our way back to the hotel, we said g’day to our friends at the Operahuset Oslo and the Deichman Library - all framed by the golden hues of today’s sunset. The day’s adventures concluded at the Oslo Street Food Hall, and I nourished myself in some Korean Fried Chicken goodness. An appropriate end to a happy day in Norway!!! 😄😄😄 Holidays are the BEST!Read more
