Oslo


this is john crossing the sweden, norway border!!! we ended up having great weather the last two days in sweden (thanks for the magic paulina!) the ride into norway was quite nice... a lot of rural countryside. we arrived in norway at about 11pm so we found the closest spot we could to pitch our tents. that spot just so happened to be in the parking lot of a park, right behind the restrooms. there was some grafitti on the wall...most likely gang territory, but they must have run off whe they saw us. the following day we rode into a city called fredrikstad where we took a train into Oslo. today we have been biking allover the city seeing all the sites. we will spend tomorrow in Oslo as well, then take a train to Bergen...

  1. Great picture. You dont worry about where you pitch your tents? Not only from the gangs but law enforcement? Or did you check out the rules before you left? Happy cycling!! Aloha

  2. Hmmm... Train to Bergen - sounds like a short cut :-) are we back to the idea with touring France and Italy??

    Have fun in Oslo!
