Oslo Wishes You Were Here

July 2, 2010 By Suzy

Last week, I found myself in Oslo, Norway, a city I never thought I would visit.  Oslo has that rough-around-the-edges feel, something I wasn’t sure I hated or loved. My love-hate feelings in Oslo quickly turned to more of an embrace after viewing this scene. Two old men discuss the events of the day with ships, tires and water getting a word in edgewise. Who knows the topic of their conversation, sinister or harmless, but I like to think I took home a small piece of it. What looks like a tiny fishing village from this angle, you hardly know an outwardly cosmopolitan city is lurking on the other side of this conversation.

    I love Oslo and have had the pleasure of being there a few times – make sure you dine at one of the fine places along Akker Brygge (I reviewed one: http://www.planetmona.com/index.php?id=109&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=752&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=128&cHash=71f7d4dabf)

    I was in Oslo over Christmas of 2007. Not the smartest time to visit a city so far north! Beautiful place from what I remember – though shockingly expensive.

About Suzy Guese

After a childhood of keeping road trips interesting around the U.S, stints in Western Europe as an angsty teen and a study abroad year in Italy in college, I decided to make traveling and writing my way of living. My travels are laced with hints of a redheaded temperament, proof that my hair color is indeed natural. SuzyGuese.com is where I solve packing predicaments, blurt out my travel secrets, rant about nomad injustices and share where the road takes me in hopes that it might take you there too.
