the Island

04 July, 2012


On one sunny evening me and my friend Ragnhild spontaneously decided visit Hovedøya (the Main Island). It's only five minutes from the city center by boat, but it is so very different from everything you find on the mainland nearby. There are sheep in lush forests, small rocky beaches and an old monastery. Not much more than that. But just that keeps amazing me. I keep getting surprised by how easy it is to take a short boat/bus/bike ride and find places that look nothing like the Oslo I knew before.

  1. It looks so relaxing here. Everything seems like it's from the past, with the beaches, the gravel trails, the sheep pasture. Looks like a fun place to visit!

  4. AHHHHHHHHH. SHEEEEEEEEEP! :) I was expecting to love this post, but then I REALLY REALLY loved it when I saw the sheep! haha.

    Sounds like such an amazing place. Toronto Island is a short ferry ride from downtown Toronto & you really feel like you are some place else. I'd LOVE to visit this island, though! One day... :)
