She went a-hiking

One of the best things about Oslo is that you can jump on the tube which takes you 20-25 minutes from downtown and then you're smack in the middle of the forest. Or "marka" as we call it. The other great thing is that marka is thoroughly facilitated for hikers and skiers. There are tracks and signs and cafés through the entire area, even though it's a vast one. So what else to do on a lovely summer day?

We took the train up to Frognerseteren and took a moment to enjoy the view over the city before trotting 3,5 kilometres into the woods.

Then we made a stop at Tryvann lake. I was actually tempted to test the water.

But instead we bought a soda at Tryvannstua and sat in the sun for a bit.

It's a pretty place and apparently you can hire it for parties and such as well. 

Then we went on for another 4 kilometres before stopping at Ullevålsætra café and tried out their freshly baked goods, before setting out for the final 3,5 kilometres. 

HALP! We're in the middle of the thickest forest, miles away from any civilisation!

... on second thought, nevermind, there it is ,o) 

After 11 kilometres completed, we've reached Maridalen and we caught a bus and crawled ourselves back home.
