Destination Oslo...
Last weekend, we went with few friends to Oslo. A very short weekend for a very nice visit...
As soon as we touched down in Rygge, one hour south of Oslo, we had an overview of how our weekend was going to be: rainy...
We jumped straight into a bus to get the capital city. We got to the hostel in the early evening, dropped our bags and went for diner.
We started wandering around as the night was showing up. The rain was still there and after an hour we were soaked... Back to the hostel...
In the morning, after a copious breakfast, we were ready for a full day visit. It was still rainy, but arrayed with poncho, nothing could stop us.
The backyard of the guesthouse, in the morning...
Oslo Cathedrale
We walked around in the center... The architecture is not so wonderful, nevertheless, façades can be quite colorful and plenty of flowers decorate the streets wich make the walk quite nice... Oslo is not a such big city, pretty quiet and definitely not overcrowded. The atmosphere reminded me of Sweden.
A troll, emblem of Norway...
Bydgoy Alle
Stortinget, the seat of Norway's Parliement
Royal Palace
We could attend the changing of the guard...
On the way to the city hall...

That's about it for this weekend... We went back to France on Sunday afternoon.
Oslo is a nice and quiet city, perfect for a relaxing weekend abroad. We were unlucky with the weather but we had good time together, thanks to my travelling fellows!
