In the afternoon the sun had returned and, as usual, we took it in turns to go for a run whilst Emma slept. I discovered just how long you can run continuously uphill for from our apartment – 25 minutes to Frognerseteren and there’s still more to go if you should so chose. I did a loop round to the West from there and back down to Holmenkollen. There’s a great view point at layby near VoksenÃ¥sen which I must return to with my camera on another sunny day.
Unfortunately come Sunday the rain had returned. We made a very short trip to the botanical gardens in the morning. Short because perhaps unsurprisingly there isn’t much to see outside at this time of year. The glasshouses were due to open shortly after we arrived but they didn’t look particularly buggy friendly. That afternoon’s runs were also pretty miserable affairs with freezing rain on the verge of becoming snow.
