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.
The last ten days have been spent dashing for the midnight sun travelling the 1750 km, or so, from Bredäng Camping to Nordkapp (North Cape), said to be the most northerly point of Europe that you can drive to. This included some R&R and domestic tasks in Sundsvall and the stunning Storforsen rapids.
After sampling some authentic Thai cuisine last night at the onsite restaurant, Mä-Thai, we had changed our minds about moving on and were both in favour of a trip into Stockholm today.
A short 700 metre walk from the campsite is Bredäng Metro station which is perfect for the 10 km journey into the city on the Röda linjen/Red Line. Our destination was T-Centralen, Stockholm City, passing through Gamla Stan, which we would visit later in the day. Continue reading Stockholm→
