Otherside of Oslo Norway


So leaving the comforts of a paid camping site was a lil difficult, you kiNDA get used to the basik comforts like a toilet,sink n an elektrik burner :)...Anyway, since we knew we were moving to yet another  enchanting part of Oslo we packed all gear and headed to the woods...The super sorted publik transport of nofway/oslo,speciALLy the T-ban(underground)is a LIL complicated to understand and lil wiered...for instance,the doors aint automatik, you gotta press a button to open em,but then this makes so much sense for a place where winters are long and bitter :)..another thing, the paper eticket stayed intact with us as the validator on the bus was nt working and the metro gates were wide open :)..all n all this place is super relaxed with transport ticket system and all other systems..super honest and nice folks here ,imagine something like this in India :) :)
It took close to a couple of hours from camp break (ekeberg camping)to set up here at this new beautiful n free location (lutvann lake), this took a change from bus to train and a few kilometers of walking..
we also visited the local grocery store on the way to stock food for a couple of meals,didnt wanna carry too much weight with our already heavy packs...Upon setting up the camp right next to the lake the evening tea was prepared on the ever so reliable msr and for the first time our sawyer water filter was brought to the task for filtering the lake water for drinkin...with the bedroom and the kitchen set up, we called it a night..just the two of us in the woods under the night sun :) so beautiful :),The following days were spent just like that lazing by the lake and long n short trail walks :) and a dip ..
Post two days, we packed camp, dropped our packs at a supermarket a few kilometers away from the lake to head to the city,again for some onward  flight, bus n boat bookings to stockholm n Turku in Finland followed by the usual n a lil boring visit to a few museums,city hall etc..Dnt get me wrong, the place is pic perfect, just that we've stopped finding joy in these sorta places :)..
Anyway, took the last evening train back to home/lake....
Stayin at one spot,at the lake was like bending the campin anywhere rule just that lil too much,so we thought we will move some place else for our final night..So Meenu scouted deep into the woods to find us a perfect new spot :),this one a lil eery:)...anyway,tomorrow is our bus to stockholm  sweden :)

p.s : the hitchhikin plan had been changed to bus journeys cauz with hitching distances are just not possible until you have a year to travel :) also, with the current europe immigration problem and with a beard like mine its hard :) even for meenu..lol :)
