These really long days are weird! According to my clever app, dusk is after midnight and dawn is before 2.30am. I can’t quite ever be sure what time it is. It is 5.30pm right now, but if I didn’t look at my watch I’d think it was more like 2.30pm because of the light. Anyway, I’ve caved in and bought an eye mask in the hope of not waking up several times a night convinced it is time to get up!

Today has been a lazy-ish day. I made my way up to the Pilgrim Centre at the start of the trail. I got my pilgrim passport stamp and worked out what direction I would need to set off in. I’ll probably get a bus to the start in the morning rather than walking a mile and a half in the opposite direction just to get to the start.
After that I played tourist. I’ll be honest and admit that I’d done very little research about Oslo and forgotten that Mumch was a long time resident, so it was a pleasant surprise to find the excellent Munch museum on my doorstep. On my way there I found the Oslo Opera House - an amazing building where you can walk up onto the roof. It was charming to walk past, and peep into, the windows of the costume, hair and make up departments.

After lunch I continued my meandering, taking in the Nobel Peace Centre and the Arkershus Fortress. My military ID got me free entry to the Resistance Museum.
I’m excited to get started tomorrow. I think it will take me about two and a half days to walk back to where the path, sort of, draws level with the airport. The train in last night took 20min!
