Another fantastic home exchange. We had a 3 bedroom house that was about a 15 minute drive from Oslo city. The kids were happy playing with the hose in the garden and watching trains over the back fence. This was a non-simultaneous exchange which means this family will come and stay with us in Prague in October, we look forward to hosting them.
Oslo is an incredibly expensive place, even for the people who live here. We looked at a boat trip in the Oslofjord but decided our budget didn't extend to the $500 for a 1.5 hour trip! We were advised in advance to buy our food in Sweden, we were thankful that we did.
Norway is a very beautiful country and somewhere that we would like to return to in the future, although not Oslo. There are some amazing sights (mountains, lakes, rivers and roads) along the west coast. It is definitely a perfect camping or caravan holiday place.
