Weekend in Oslo : sightseeing and skijumping

After a "frightening" flight here we are on the way to Oslo city center




Girlgroup picture in front of our accomodation for the night "Anker hostel"
Let's check in!

Start of our sightseeingtour: Norwegian Parliament

Karl Johannes Gate: main street in Oslo and leading to the royal palace

The city was getting prepared for our arrival: Holmenkollen (skijumping world cup) and blue sky

And we were also prepared! First time we were wearing our sunglasses in Norway!

Grand Hotel showing the colours of Scandinavia!

The "beautiful" town hall next to the harbour

Harbour view on the fort, even nicer with this great weather!

Royal palace on the top of the hill with the royal flag, showing that the king is there (waiting for us)


Gayou was happy: Enjoy your 20Kroner (2,50€) petit pain au chocolat


Sunset on the harbour

We began the irish St.Patrick's day in a chinese restaurant, why not?

But finished more taditional in a typical irish pub with live music and 8€ beer!

Day 2: We began the day with a nice breakfast in our Headquarter for the weekend:
Deli De Luca!

Situated on the Karl Johannes Gate

What a nice idea, Kathrin! Trying to take a shortcut down the hill to catch up on us.
See the result!

Some others with a great idea: Taking a little boat, half naked in the middle of march


Here we are at the highest point of Oslo: The skijumping arena Holmenkollen!

Really impressive despite the cold and the wind


We have spent a very nice but tiring weekend as our faces can tell...
