My cousin Jayne’s visiting us for a few days, before she heads up to Bergen for the fjords. This has given us another excuse to eat hotdogs and ice cream and drink beer, and more importantly meant I got to have another swim in the sea.

Today we headed out to Bygdoy on the bus and ended up at Huk, where there’s a lovely big grassy area, a few small sandy beaches, some rocks and a couple of pontoons to swim out to. There’s also a naturist beach on the side of the headland which we took a detour to initially. I didn’t think the path looked quite how I remembered but thought we ought to be able to cut through. Sadly, after wandering around a bit we realised the fence was a bit high, so the biology lesson had to end there.

The water was pretty warm for this time of year, the sun was bright and there were enough interesting things buried in the sand to keep Emma happy for a while. In fact, there was quite a lot of pumice stone about, which came as a surprise to me as I thought it was usually found around volcanoes, but my geology’s pretty basic.
