I think it's very hot today! I like the short distance to every facility in this city. There are many nice sights, and I have recieved good service everywhere.

I will be dining at Ekeberg Restaurant and at Aker Brygge. And will also try to catch a World Cup race in Orienteering, which will be held in Oslo this weekend.

I'm planning to visit the Opera, and Aker Brygge as well! That is pretty much it.
