Tjuvholmen

Once in Oslo, we went for a long family walk across town to Vigelandsparken and its captivating sculptures before jumping into the Oslo fjord for a swim at Tjuvholmen. As is the case with many such places, the area around Tjuvhomen used to belong to a shipyard and be filled with derelict warehouses before undergoing “urban renewal” and being turned into art galleries, expensive waterfront housing and, yes, an outdoor bathing area.

With the water temperature being around 17 degrees, I did not swim for long, but I was happy to see William challenging himself and going into the water as well. Afterwards, we had an Italian dinner at the nearby restaurant Olivia which easily scored five out of five foxes.
