Visiting the Oslo Pilgrim Office

It probably wasn't a surprise to wake up tired after only having a couple of hours of sleep. I wasn't able to settle until after 4:00 a.m. this morning and work around 7:30 a.m. After a very nice breakfast at the hotel next door my first priority was to visit the Oslo Pilgrim office.

After a bit of help from the hostel staff and the woman selling me the bus pass, I was on my way across to where the pilgrim office is now located. There was a nice Canadian woman there who was helping several prospective pilgrims from Oslo and northern Germany. One couple is cycling all the way through to the Llofeten Islands, but the others are intending to walk to Trondheim.

Some I might see along the way, but one is planning substantially longer days than I am going to walk, and the other is likely to take the Eastern route out of Oslo. So I'm not expecting to see either of them before Lillehamer at the earliest.Read more
