We left Rjukan Hytte & Caravan Park this morning bound for Oslo. We didn’t know exactly where at this point, we would choose somewhere nearer the target.
This site had been OK for a short term stay. The field was a little damp under foot but the car pulled the caravan out without problem. The facilities are a little tired and in need of refurbishment. The showers are just warm enough with little flow, but at least we weren’t charged for them.
We have been in Norway for 50 days today and not a day has gone by without seeing something amazing. Takk Norge.
However, the weather of late hasn’t been that kind and we have undoubtedly spent more than we planned to spend. The decision was to move south taking in a visit to Copenhagen, a place neither of us had been before.
As the checkout time is 16:00 at Oslo Camping and we still had 4 hours validity left on our Oslo Passes, before leaving we drove up to visit the nearby Holmenkollen National Ski Arena. This has facilities for ski jumping, cross country skiing and biathlon. The viewing platform at the top of the ski jump offers fantastic views over Oslo and its’ surrounding area. There is a fine museum covering over 4000 years of skiing history.
Plan A, to store the van and car here and fly home for a few days from Copenhagen, hadn’t worked. The site we were on didn’t like the idea of storing the car & van for us, nor did another I’d emailed.
