Sognsvann in may
earlier trip during march 2007
The blog is running one week late.
Was bored at home…as usual. There was dinner at Olve and Majas place in the evening but i had to kill time till then, so picked up the phone and called Ville and Rikka. Decided to goto Sognsvann.
Having a monthly pass means one can hop on the Bus/Tram/Train/Ferry and get pretty much everywhere in Oslo. The public transport is pretty good. I case you are here for a short trip you can buy a FlexiCard which has 8 tickets which has to be punched when you need to travel and is valid for 1 hour on all kinds of public transport.
About Sognsvann and how to get there
Sognsvann (or Sognsvannet[1]) is a 3.3km circumference lake just north of Oslo, Norway.
Lying just within the greenbelt around Oslo, the lake is a popular recreational area, used as a camping, picnicking and bathing destination for the residents of Oslo during the summer, as well as a cross-country skiing, skating and ice fishing destination in the winter. The trail around it is used for walking or jogging all year. Cycling around the lake is prohibited due to large number of people covering this road on foot. Disabled access is good to and around the lake.
Part of the lake’s popularity stems from its easy access from Oslo; Sognsvann station, located on the south end of the lake, is the final stop on line 3 on the Oslo T-bane.
Svartkulp, a small forest lake which is one of three nudist beaches in Oslo, lies a few hundred meters to the east of Sognsvann.
walking back home from a team party and saw this…must be some dodgy translation.
after walking around the big lake we decided to goto the smaller one.
from the earlier trip, i knew it was just next to the big lake.
but for some reason we got lost…we asked a lady who told us to take a right…which we did…only to realize she meant OUR right
asked another guy and he told us to go back and showed us the lake on the map…we finally got there
same place in 2007
it was pretty cool
to be back
this time with no ice
got a haircut from Maja’s sister, she has done the hair for one of the Prime Minister of Norway. How cool is that. I had a pretty bad experience getting a hair cut by some random old man, since then i make sure i know the person who cuts my hair.
on my way home from work…I have no idea whats happening here as the bus is not even supposed to be there…driver must be lost…damn immigrants (inside joke)
ah…the dogs life
