I forgot to publish this blog post back in May 2012! I took these photos at the Viking Museum in Oslo. These are genuine Viking ships from around 800 AD.

Christmas at Toko Mouth
Christmas day at Toko Mouth. After the traditional roasted turkey courtesy of my mum, my dad and I headed to the river where I attempted swimming on my (formerly munted) shoulder for the first time in many years. It seems that I can indeed still swim despite not being able to since 2006 🙂

Store Gryta
Morten and I headed to Store Gryta to find some ice to skate on. Unfortunately it was a little thin, so we stopped for a short food break where I tried Julebrød med brun øst (Norwegian Christmas bread with brown cheese), a traditional Christmas time snack around these parts.
Skating on Setertjern
My new skating Morten kindly drove us to Setertjern for some ice skating. 50 mm of nice hard, smooth ice 🙂 There was a swiffle of snow on the top, but nothing major.
Frozen saft!
This is a lesson in why you should always pack hot water when travelling outdoors in Oslo 😉
This was a yummy bottle full of forest berry flavoured saft (Norwegian drink flavouring stuff, kinda like cordial) before leaving home; 60 minutes later and it became a saft slushy!
The photo was taken on Kringlevann.
