Summer in Oslo

Back from Tromso, the weather started being perfect in Olso!! The summer is finally coming!
... around 30 degrees everyday... the sun is shinning!!
Yoouah!!

Last week end we went to a cabin, 1 hour from Oslo, in Larkollen. The week end was perfect! I didn't feel being in Norway!
First I didn't know that it could be so warm in Norway, and second I have never thought it was possible to swim in the sea in Norway (I thought it was so cold for that), but no! I was wrong!!
I have been swimming in the Oslo Fjord!! Ok, the water was colder than the Mediterranean sea, but it was still ok :)

Two weeks after Tromso where I was freezing with my winter jacket, gloves and scarf, I was still in Norway but this time in bikini lying on the sun!!

We had a lot of fun: canoe trip, beach volley, barbeque... everything to feel being in holidays!

This week, unfortunately the weather is changing and it is getting colder... but anyway, in 2 days I will be in holidays and will be flying back to France for 10 days!!
I am really looking forwards to this holidays... meeting my friends, relaxing and of course spending some time with my family!!

Trip to Tromso

Midnight: the sun is still shinning!!

Three weeks ago, with some other interns and a friend of mine from Netherlands we traveled to Tromso, the north of Norway. It was the first time for me to go up to the Arctic Circle. It was a nice experience to stay there for 4 and half days and to not see any dark night.
Now in Tromso it is the midnight sun, that means having sun 24hours/day.
Unfortunately it was cloudy most of the time we spent in Tromso... but at least we had the opportunity to see once the midnight sun! The sun was really really big and really orange!! Great moment!! and it was midnight!! :)

It was fun having walks at 3 am and feeling like 3 pm, or having BBQ at midnight or at 8am!! Actually we were a bit confused with the time... really strange having sun during the night...

YES, you can trust me, this picture has been taken around 2 am... it was so cold that he decided to make a fire in the middle f the night!! I love Norway!!

It was quite difficult to come back to Oslo and go to work the day after... try to adapt ourselves again to the day and night :D

But even now in Oslo, day are longer and longer... and I realize that the nights are not dark anymore... sunset around 10.30pm and sunrise around 4am I think!

Wonderful view from the plane back to Oslo!!
