Day 21 (30 March): Oslo

In 33 days, we will still be in Oslo. The opportunities for fun things to do are endless, but there are a few specific things on the wish list!

Taking metro line 1, there is a ski resort not 30 minutes from the centre of Oslo. How good! And with day passes for only $70, this might be an exciting option. No doubt no one else will be interested in this adventure, and I may venture out on my own for a half-day of snowboarding fun.

Other fun options might include:

• Hiking in the nearby forests - such as Nordmarka

• Walking along the Oslofjord

• Floating saunas in Oslofjord

• Ice bathing

• Visiting Edvard Munch's The Scream (I'm not particularly artsy but when in Rome...)

• Hop on - hop off bus

• Visit the Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle built some time in the 1200s

Whatever we do, all the information websites tell us not to miss bakeries and pastries, which seem to be pretty popular! Mentioned many times is the Kanelboller - or Norwegian Cinnamon Bun. When in Rome... (I'm going to be in Rome a lot this trip it seems!)
