Guess what??
It’s only 2 days until we board our final flight out of Oslo. The weather has been overcast and rainy for most of the last month. Yesterday we had planned to go for one last walk in the forest at Sognsvann. We were very happily surprised when we awoke to sunny blue skies!
We’d heard about a spot further up the river that was apparently a beautiful walk with a little cafe at the end. We didn’t realise quite how far along it was and after an hour of walking mostly uphill we spotted a perfect place for a picnic. It was right by a lake and very quiet except for a few friendly ducks. We ate lunch and then Dan handed me a book. He said to start from the beginning and I opened it up to find it full of photos of our last 6 years together. He’d really gone to an effort! On the final page were the words ‘Will you marry me?’. It was extremely sweet and romantic. Of course I said yes!
We hung out for a while at that spot and then walked on to find the little cafe. We ran out of water along the way and were really hoping we’d find it soon! Eventually we did, the cafe was closed but we filled our bottles up with water from a tap and relaxed a while before walking the 6.5 kms back to the train station. We went out for sushi to celebrate…trying to keep our eyes open as we both felt so exhausted from the long walk!!
It was a beautiful day and I couldn’t imagine a more romantic setting. I’ve put up a few photos from yesterday for you all to see.
Looking forward to catching up again soon. It’s very sad to say goodbye to the friends we’ve made here but I know we’ll be seeing some of them again in the future.
