We made it to Norway! It is officially day 1 of the trip! The day was started with a delicious pastry from the coffee shop below our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised with a Saturday market featuring local businesses ranging from fresh-pressed juices to hand-woven sweaters and precious jewelry. This took place on the street directly outside of our hotel (Cochs Pensjonat). It was an all-day event, so we could even take a nap and catch up on sleep, then continue to browse if we wanted. This was the perfect opportunity to stroll and immerse in the culture with a coffee and pastry!
This market absolutely depicts the sustainable cities and communities SDG. It offers financial support to the locals, fosters an environment of socializing and interaction, and encourages walking and exercise (these hills are no joke). All of these factors creates a city that promotes healthy and sustainable living for the Oslo community.
