Juletida (Christmas time) has officially started for me with the first juletallerken (Christmas plate) and rakfisk (fermented trout) of the season 😋🎄🐖🐟

Paired with perhaps the best restaurant view in Oslo this was a meal to remember 🥰

Had a lot of fun in Oslo this week helping KBS, South Korean public TV 🇰🇷 film an episode for both their TV and YouTube channel 🤩

I can’t wait to see the result. In the first photo we are standing on the top of the Holmenkollen ski jumping tower 😮

It feels like we’ve had the most gloomy November month ever in Oslo 😣

However, the last days the sun has been paying us a visit ☀️

Here’s a few photos of Oslo seen from the Island of Hovedøya 🏝️ Enjoy!

November-hilsen, November greetings from Pål

Hei hei! Thanks to those of you who watched the Rick Steves Monday Night Travel Show last night!

If you missed it there will be a recording out soon. Also, I ended the show with some brown cheese, and of course starting my day with some brown cheese as well.

Gotta love those brown cheese moments ;)

Hei hei! I bet you're surprised I'm posting from Athens, but it's where I've been the last 8 days doing guidebook research for the Rick Steves' Europe Greece Guidebook.

In the first image I'm at the Syntagma square in central Athens. Every Norwegian my generation and older will know the name of this square from a Norwegian song named "Alexander Kiellands Plass" by singer songwriter Lillebjørn Nilsen.

You can read more about him and my Athens-journey on my Patreon-page. I've shared a link below. 🙏 Thanks for your support 😍

Anyways, I just wanted to send a small greeting, and let you know I'm back in Norway for the foreseeable future.

I hope you'll have a nice weekend! Jeg ønsker deg en god helg!

Fall walk in Oslo Part 2 🍁

These photos are mostly from the Hovedøya Island in the Oslo fjord. Such a beautiful fall day in Oslo!

I finished off with a delicious vaffel (waffle) at Haralds Vaffel. I chose the super classic combo, which included sour cream, brown cheese and jam. Yum!

Are you up for a visit to Oslo? :D

Have a nice weekend, god helg!

Hei hei! I wanted to share a few photos from a nice stroll in Oslo the other day 👍

Beautiful fall colors all around these days 🤩🍁🍂

If you have not been here before, Oslo is such a walkable city! From the fjord to the hills to local neighborhoods, the Akerselva river and delicious Norwegian kjøttkaker (meatballs). Everything within walking distance.

I do local guided tours in Oslo, so feel free to get in touch if you're in my neck of the woods 🥰 (see link in the comment field)

Ha en fin torsdag, have a nice Thursday!

Ahoy! I went to check out the Viking Ships in Tønsberg and I was not disappointed! 👍

The big ship you see is Saga Oseberg, a replica of the famous Osebergskipet, which usually is at display in Oslo, and will re-emerge once the new Vikingtidsmuseet opens in 2027/8.

Saga Oseberg is an exact replica, and was built in the traditional way back in 2010-12. Oseberg Vikingarv sometimes give tours on board, so try to time your visit with one of those.

One of the smaller ships seen is Saga Farmann, a replica of Klåstadskipet, aka the Fourth Viking Ship, which you can find the remains off at the Slottsfjellsmuseet

A fun experience to be able to climb onboard, grab the rudder, while being told some interesting stories by an old salty seadog (see photo).

I'll be back for sure!
