Varying degrees of rainfall followed us around Oslo today. We stayed in the main lobby of the hotel until 12:15 hoping that the clouds would open and the sunshine would peek through, however, it was not meant to be so we put on our raincoats and ventured out. Our first stop was the Apothek for our third bottle of cough medicine and fifth box of Strepsils. Our colds are persistent and frustrating and they will probably start to go away as soon as we go home!
We got soaked during our morning walk and returned to our room to dry off and nap.
At 5:00 pm we ventured out again to Schroeder our favourite brown cafe. Brown cafes serve traditional food, are more reasonably priced and are frequented by the locals. This cafe started in 1912 and Hans Schroeder took it over in 1925. The current building the cafe is housed in was built in 1954 so is as old as I am. We enjoyed 3 of or 4 dinners at this cafe and will miss its simple charm and delicious home cooking. The rain increased in intensity as soon as we started walking to it but was the rain was not too bad once we got halfway back to the hotel after dinner.
Not many people were on the streets tonight because of the weather so I was able to retake some photos without crowds of people in them.
Tomorrow we leave for Bergen, Norway and are staying in the Comfort Hotel. We have already found a brown cafe called Pingvinen there so continue our quest for delicious, affordable, traditional food
