I surrender to the rain. I forgot the hood that goes with the jacket at home, but maybe it doesn’t matter – the rest of the jacket isn’t waterproof anymore either. It’s getting cold in the long run.
Despite the rain, I walk around Oslo a little. At least the city is not overcrowded. I like it a lot; I think many of the modern buildings are well done. I buy new gas for my stove. Actually, I also wanted to buy a foldable coffee filter, but I could not pinch myself for the (converted) 40 €.
I ordered something from a bakery via TooGoodToGo, hoping for some delicious pastries and some bread. Instead, I get two loaves of bread – so for now, it’s just bread. For dinner, I make myself some French toast, which I’ll have again for breakfast. Could be worse.
I’m looking for routes in and through Norway. Researching on the small mobile phone screen is exhausting, but the pictures still look beautiful.
As I plan my route, I slowly realise that I don’t actually know what I want to do next or where I want to go. The landscapes attract me, but at the same time my desire for company is growing. I ask my host if I can stay another night, giving myself time to think.
