Oslo gears for dream weekend


A heat wave that descended on southern Norway this week left residents looking forward to a near-tropical weekend, with lots of sunshine, rapidly warming waters in the sea and lakes, and summer activities galore including a huge regatta on the fjord.

The Oslo Fjord has been dotted with a record number of boats of all sizes and classes this week. Thousands of sailors, both Norwegian and foreign, descended on the capital to take part in Oslo Race Week. The event has featured various regattas, climaxing in the annual Færderseilasen that was setting off from Aker Brygge at midday on Friday.
