Island hopping in the Oslofjord

A uniquely charming and affordable aspect of the Norwegian capital is island hopping. With the electric boat, one can visit as many islands as one wishes. There are numerous islands in the Oslofjord, and for just €6.00, we can travel all day long. We visit four of them: Lindoja, Hovedoja, Bleikoya, and Gressholmen. Each island has something special to offer. In Lindoja, it's the wonderful colorful houses. In Hovedoja, it's the ruins of a Cistercian monastery from the 11th century, where the cannons from that time are also well presented. We also take a glance inside an art hall. Our understanding of art isn't enough to comprehend the exhibition. During the tour, we meet four very nice girls from Switzerland. We share our experiences and continue our journey. In Bleikoya, it’s the summer houses and the bird paradise. Each island can easily be explored in half an hour along beautiful walking paths. Since it’s on our route, we also stop at Nakholmen. Here, we are also charmed by the wonderful panorama and the friendly people who spend their holidays in their colorful summer houses. They warmly greet the island visitors with a friendly 'Hi'.
