⏰1 Hour…Go!

Kaffebrenneriet.

But what a short pitstop it was on my one-hour adventure in Oslo…

🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

When working on a cruise ship, we sometimes will only be able to visit a port once - and the job doesn’t stop just because you want to go outside and explore 💃🏻

There are also other challenges besides work hours - without good wifi or mobile data…and planning at the last minute…you may not have time to even research the city you wake up in.

So on this day, I only had one hour to explore a city I’d never been to, not researched, and, frankly, could not afford 💶 🧐

On days like this, the best course of action is to just start walking into the city center.

One of the first things I noticed about Oslo was just how walkable the city center was - along with great access to shopping and restraints, the Nationally Theatre, famous Opera House, and a multitude of museums were within a fifteen-minute-walking radius.

And of course, there was sooooo much more to this city than where I explored.

Along with the cultural and architectural pluses of this city I also quite enjoyed exploring a few of the marinas filled with sailboats ⛵️⚓️

However, in general, Oslo reminded me of many other major cities and capitals I’ve traveled to; Grey and Metropolitan.

After visiting the major standout to me - the opera house - I ventured to the closest coffee shop I could find.

Kaffebrenneriet - I was not expecting anything, but my friend, you served me well.  In cases like these, you aren’t expecting anything too crazy or exceptional, and yet, I was very surprised to find such a cute coffee shop that sold its own beans and made a heck of a cappuccino ☕️

 (👀 that froth though…)
