Spent the weekend I'm in Oslo!  £12 return flights! :)  Woo hoo! I'd heard it's a beautiful city - it's meant to be a lovely combination of man-made and God-made stuff - beautiful architecture and set in mountains so hiking and stuff ...

After Andrew got his tattoo, we caught the 12:45 (ish – memory a bit hazy!) train to Oslo. The train ride was good and quite fast and both Andrew and I couldn't keep our eyes of the beautiful scenery rushing by. The trees were moulting and the ...
