back from being on the road – Norway aftermath

We’ve been back home now for the past two days. More than 3500km in Norway (and partly in Sweden) are behind us. It was a great time in Norway. It’s a beautiful country. The nature is just stunning and people are really nice and kind! It’s just such a shame that there’s a dark cloud shadowing the past two weeks…

In every talk I’ve had with someone, I’ve been asked about our whereabouts during the tragic events in Oslo. We weren’t there, it was our last day of the trip, but we weren’t far away either and during the time the explosion took place we were driving towards Oslo. It feels dishonest to look back at the trip with positive feelings but it was a good trip. It’s just scary to think that something so horrible took place so close-by. You just don’t expect it to happen here, it’s the stuff that you generally see from the news… words seem to be quite inadequate in that entire matter but it did remind me of one quote by Thomas Campbell: To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die…

Back to positive tones. I was a good girl and kept a diary type of a Word-file during our trip and I try to get it all here together with some pictures as soon as I have spare time to deal with it. Have some patience, it’s all coming your way starting with day 1
