Visit from Kerry

My lovely friend Kerry came to visit me in Oslo :) We went to the local ski jump, but were met with a gloriously wonderful array of fog, fog and a little more fog.

Arctic explorers

Harriet and I, ready to embark on our great arctic adventure into the untouched wilderness of the Tromsø city center.

Pizza with Harriet and Anita

Dinner with Harriet and Anita. We nommed down a ridiculous amount of pizza at which point it suddenly dawned on me that I now consider a $100 bottle of wine to be cheap!

Aquarium in Tromsø

The weather turned to poo in Tromsø, so Harriet and I headed to the local aquarium to entertain ourselves for the afternoon.




Snow in Tromsø

So, Harriet and I went to Tromsø during the winter. Tromsø is way up in the arctic circle. It apparently snows quite a lot in the arctic circle, who would’ve thought!

Tromsø Cemetery

Continuing my habit of taking photos of cemeteries covered in snow …

Kate Winslett's got nothing on this!

Sentrumsløpet

I competed in the Sentrumsløpet today, a 10 km running race around the streets of Oslo. I am the fattest I have been in my life, I am the most out of shape I’ve ever been in my life, I am nursing an achilles heal injury and rather insanely decided that competing in this thing would be a good way to kick my arse off the couch. Well it did kick my arse of the couch indeed, but I swear almost killed me in the process. 61.5 mins later I felt like I was about to pass out. Thankfully there were 4500 smoking hot Norwegian girls to admire enroute, so it was all worth it :)

Below are some photos of my work colleagues and myself.
