4 June - Oslo lobster

We arrive in Oslo in more fantastic sunshine and just in time for a late lunch. We pick more-or-less the first outdoor café we come to and manage to work out goats cheese salad from the Norwegian menu (the words chevre and salat are enough to give us clue!). I also spot that the people at the next table have a carafe of some really nice pale, rose wine, so we go for some of that too. Great start to the weekend!

After a look at the little city guide in our hotel room, we head down to the harbourside for dinner in one of the seafood restaurants. It’s clearly the place to be on a bright sunny evening and there are several cool bars full of beautiful people. We opt for an in-between sort of place – not super-cool, but not TGI Friday’s! D/S Louise turns out to be a good choice. I start with beef carpaccio, then lobster thermidor, which is delicious.


We sit watching the world go by and waiting for the sun to go down, but give up at about 11 and wander back to our hotel, still in daylight!
