A new destination, a reunion with my sister and her boyfriend and a Christmas market visit… Oslo promised to be a city-break to remember! While chilly temperatures and grim weather on the Saturday meant we didn’t cram in quite as many activities as I would normally, we still managed to check out some of the city’s notable sights and some amazing street art. Read on to see how we spent two snowy days in Oslo!
Super snowy start of March!
Following on from February, March started off snowy which at first I loved. While it was pretty special to see some of my favourite spots blanketed in white, by the middle of the month I was very ready for spring. Fortunately, that’s when the sunshine and daffodils arrived! Now I’m relaxing in Bled for Easter, currently blogging while looking out over the lake. Pretty amazing place to spend the long weekend!
Blue skies, daffodils in the park, happy people… London in spring is truly magical. Unfortunately, up until this week, it hasn’t felt like spring at all, thanks to loads of rain and record-breaking snow. But now the clocks have gone back and there’s a magical sense of promise in the air – sunny days are coming! And with that, my mind has turned to my favourite ways to celebrate springtime in this wonderful city.
Budapest fascinates me. It was my first experience of a place that had lived behind the Iron Curtain, the Soviet Union’s barrier to the outside world. Its history can be harsh, but there is such a buzz of energy now, from the bubbling hot springs to the vibrant ruin bars. I think three days is an ideal length of time to get a sense of this city of contrasts – here’s my itinerary, and check out the map at the bottom for all the spots!
