Norway, Oslo, 23 – 28 July 2023

Trondheim to Oslo – heading inland, no more jagged mountains, many rivers, some holiday traffic, slow going 80kph most of the way, got up to 1000m at one point cold 12c, uneventful ride.

Oslo – capital of Norway, population 1.5 million people, organised, clean, good public transport, expensive, many parks with interesting sculptures.

Oslo has a tradition of sending a Christmas tree every year to the cities of Washington D.C., New York City, Edinburgh, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Reykjavík. Since 1947 Oslo has sent a 20 to 24 m, 50 to 100-year-old spruce, as an expression of gratitude toward Britain for its support of Norway during World War II.

First an oil change on my bike then a tram ride into the city.
