We spent 3 days doing our own non-child friendly agenda, gallivanting around Oslo and 2 days with our friends. It was the best long weekend and we’ve come back from the trip feeling very full of everything nice!

Aside from hanging out with our friends, some highlights of the trip included:

• Some of the best food! Who knew that Oslo was such a food mecca! My favourite places we ate were Mon Oncle (classic French), Nodee Sky (Sushi) and Solsiden (seafood)
• Visiting the ski-jumping complex at Holmenkollen. This is a place where you can see the enormous ski-jumping facilities, as well as zip line from the top of the structure! Lu did this, I stayed firmly on the ground like a sensible human.
• Spectated at the Red Bull cliff diving competition! This was a random encounter but it just so happened that the weekend we were there, the Red Bull cliff divers were in town. We had such a fun afternoon by the water watching dare devils doing the most incredible dives from very high platforms!
• Sailing around the Oslo fjords! We took a boat around the fjords to sightsee, and wow it was pretty! Highly recommend.
• Enjoyed two different hotels! We stayed at two hotels over the weekend – the Amerikalinjen (very centrally located) and the Thief (a little more out of the way but in a cool area). Each had a very distinct vibe and we definitely enjoyed all the facilities.

Here are some photos of an amazing long weekend!
