Hurra, det er sommer! <\/b>(Hooray, it\u2019s summer!) For most nordmenn<\/b> (Norwegians), that means ferie<\/b> (vacation). Fortunately, in a diverse country like Norge<\/b>, there\u2019s always a lot to do \u2013 especially when sola skinner<\/b> (the sun is shining)! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Liker du \u00e5 bade? <\/b>(Do you like bathing?) Finn fram badet\u00f8y og h\u00e5ndkle<\/b> (find your bathing clothes and towel) and join your friends p\u00e5 stranda<\/b> (at the beach). Norway is full of fjorder<\/b> and innsj\u00f8er<\/b><\/a> (lakes), which gives a lot of opportunities to swim (\u00e5 sv\u00f8mme<\/b>). The water temperature can reach surprising heights in the country, but of course there\u2019s also places such as snow-fed fjellsj\u00f8er<\/b> (mountain lakes) that stay cold most of the year\u2026<\/p>\n

Mange nordmenn er glade i b\u00e5t<\/b> (many Norwegians like boat[ing]). If you don\u2019t have your own b\u00e5t <\/b>[bawt], try to chat a bit with the happy people at bryggen<\/b> (the quay). With a bit of luck, maybe they\u2019ll let you bli med en tur<\/b> (join for a [small voyage)? Be ware that sola<\/b> (the sun) blinking from the fjord\u2019s silver surface can get really intense, so make sure to wear<\/a> solbriller<\/b> and lots of solkrem<\/b> (sunscreen).<\/p>\n

Turer i skog og mark<\/b> (nature walking trips, literally \u201dtrips in wood and field\u201d) are always a possibility. Husk \u00e5 ta med rikelig med vann <\/b>(remember to bring plenty of water), especially if you\u2019re planning to scale one of those steep and sunkissed fjellsider<\/b> (mountain<\/a> slopes)!<\/p>\n

Perhaps after all the activities you now feel really svett<\/b> (sweaty) and really just want to slappe av i skyggen<\/b> (relax in the shadow). In a city there\u2019s lots of things to watch and listen to (for example utend\u00f8rskonserter<\/b> \u2013 open-air concerts). At a smaller place you can always listen to m\u00e5kene<\/b> (the seagulls) and enjoy the scenery, maybe combined with a brus<\/b> (lemonade) or an utepils<\/b> (beer that is consumed outside<\/a>) or a yummy Norwegian iskrem<\/b> (ice-cream)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
