Karo visiting me : )

On Thursday, after some back and forth from the airline company, I finally picked Karo up at the airport : ) It didn't start great with her almost having to wait for the next flight, but she came and it turned out to be a great weekend :D

We just chilled out in my flat on Thursday evening, eating snacks and watching Friends, after going to Egon for dinner.

Girls night

Since the weather was a bit grey on Friday, we went toStoro Shopping Centre to shop. As usual, I ended up buying some more jewelry. Always seem to do that :p In the afternoon, we went to my home town and got the best pizza in Norway. That is of course the pizza my grandmother makes. No-one beats it. It's as simple as that ; ) After dinner Karoand I had a movie marathon. Since she hadn't seen Cars before :O , I borrowed it from my cousin, and we started the evening with that. Then we saw Hancock and ended with Wimbledon. That wasn't the bestidea though, cos it just made us want to go toLondon and Brighton ;p

On Saturday we got up and went back to Oslo to do some serious sightseeing. We started at Vigelandsparken and it made me wonder why I don't spend more time in the parks in Oslo. Well, when the weather is good of course. Haven't been the best these past few weeks/months...

Sinnataggen

Lots of people chilling and working on their tan

Vigelandsparken from the top, looking down

After seeing the park, we went to get ice-cream (softis) at Aker Brygge. It's a must if your there and the weather's good! Then we went up to Akershus Fortress (Akershus Festning) and looked out at the ocean and all the boats that was out in the sunshine. Following the fortress, we walked to Oslo's main street and saw the Parliament building (Stortinget), Spikersuppa (fountain in summertime and ice-rank at winter) and the Royal Castle. We ended our tour of the city by going down to the train station to see the Opera house, but we both had pretty sore feet, so we just looked at it and headed back to Aker Brygge on the tram. We were both hungry, so we went to get some amazing pasta at Olivia. Never get sick of that place : ) Amazing food and great service : )

Dinnertime in the sunshine : )

On the way back to my flat we went by the store to buy some more cherries (sour candy, that is) that Karo fell for. She also fell in love with Norway, so she'll definitely be back :D

Another beautiful sunset

It's been a truly great weekend, and we both thought it sucked that she had to go back today. But we've both got work in the morning, so that's life. Back to reality tomorrow.

Hope you're all having a great summer : )
