We parked up for our first night in Norway outside a closed campsite in the teeming rain. Not exactly what we had in mind, but it did provide the ideal opportunity to turn the van heater up, get some research done and sink some beers we found hidden in the back of the cupboard…result.
The following morning we braved the weather and walked into the center of Oslo from our base. Walking around the center we were really impressed with what Oslo had to offer. Having already amassed over 30,000 steps (we weren’t used to this just yet) we decided to hire some electric scooters to see the rest of the sights down by the harbor. For only a few Euros we were flying around like the locals, having a blast with the views a mere bonus. We hopped off the scooters once we got our first glimpse of the Opera House, we were just blown away by the design of it. The ultramodern design allowed you to walk all over it like ants, constructed using marble slabs angled in all different ways, this place is truly a must. Whilst you can book in to see a musical, we were as happy to use the toilet and sit in the waiting area looking pompous. In reality, the van toilet needed emptying and we had nowhere else to go. Absolutely exhausted, we navigated the public transport back to the van and chucked a frozen meal in the pan. By now we had a system of cooking too much food and using our small (and vital) freezer to store food to reheat, when we couldn’t be bothered to cook.
