Need something for your aquarium?

At Løren, a part of Oslo not so far from the center, you can find this store - that claims to be Norway's biggest aquarium store. They do have a lot of nice fish tanks and lots of beautiful fish. My father has a quite big salt water aquarium, which is very soothing to watch.

Løren is a growing part of Oslo. They're building lots of new apartment buildings in this area. I grew up not far from there and it is a nice place to live.

Bicycles for rent

Oslo has a good offer to those who would like to get around in Oslo by bicycle: Oslo Citybike. There are approx. 1200 bikes to be found in different places of the center. To use them you have to register and pay a small annual fee. Then you use your "smart card" to release a bike from the rack.

The bikes are financed by advertising and is therefore an environmental-friendly and inexpencive offer to the public. You must return the bike to the stand within 3 hours thus to make sure that there are bikes available to everyone who's interested.

Market photos

Here are some more photos from Vestkanttorvet market that I told you about yesterday.

Tomorrow morning I'm leaving on a holiday, so my sister "Imzadi" has kindly offered to take my place while I'm gone. I'm going to Stavanger *waves to tanty* and hopefully will have some nice days together with my family there.

Best wishes to you all!
