With a history stretching back more than 150 years, the Grand Cafe along Karl Johans Gate in the heart of Oslo, Norway is a landmark in its own right. Linked to the Grand Hotel and serving Nordic food with global influences, the Cafe was famously a haunt of bohemian artists and writers around the turn of the 20th century. In short, it was the perfect spot to stop and grab some Norwegian cuisine and an overdue afternoon beer during our exploration of the city.

Meatballs, Vikings, and Scandinavian Shoots
This incredible Scandi adventure through Sweden, Denmark, and Norway wrapped up back in Stockholm where it all began. I've barely scratched the surface of sharing what we fit into these weeks away, but that's always the case when you're busy having fun.
I will share what brought us here in the first place soon though - there's a bit more to that story than just the usual travel shoots. In the meantime, for our final night, we all enjoyed Swedish meatballs with lingonberries and whipped potatoes. You really can't have a more fitting Scandinavian send-off than an upscale version of what they serve at IKEA.
I found the perfect hat for only 99 krona (that's about $13 CAD) to go along with a suitcase full of random Scandinavian souvenirs. In short, the perfect ending to an unforgettable experience. Lots more to come in the weeks ahead as I finally get some time to review everything I've captured.
