Hiking and Camping in Oslomarka

It didn't rain much during the day but the fog was incredible
We hiked from 11:00am to 6:00pm
Hiked through several trails and hit a couple of lakes and rivers along the way
.
row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream...
SERENITY NOW
up at the top of one of the trails we found ourselves at someone's cabin
.
Kari and I. Kari is fast.
.
.
Warren and Kari in our refugee hut. No tent, just tarp. It rained all night long. We are troopers.
Hahaha snug like a bug in a rug

Island Hopping


Jumped onto the ferry (we were a little late) and off we went!
Leaving the harbour
such a perfect day to spend on the islands
Oslo has about 40 islands, most are very small and home to a small community of houses
up on the ferry
Norge blue skies
green, green, green
