Oslo
14.06.2008
Arrived Oslo 0930 Friday morning, stowed our luggage and had a good look around Oslo.
Jim very happy as there were hundreds of yachts racing.
Everything is happening in June in Oslo, due to the longest day celebrations. Oslo is a lot more modern than I imagined - very open. It was 14 degrees when we arrived, and people were out in their summer gear, and the air conditioning was on - summer Oslo style.
Checked into our hotel which was an enviromentally friendly establishment - quite lovely, and fabulous breakfast the next morning - breakfast is a big meal in these parts - more food on offer than I would normally eat for dinner. We're not complaining....
Brrr. I wouldn't survive there! 14 degrees here today and I have thermals and heater on. Did you know about the luck-bringing ritual to do at midnight on thel longest day? Strip naked an roll around in the dew - apparently. Let us know how you go.
Yr postings are boosting my knowledge of geography no end. Thanks guys xx
