Great Journey 🇳🇴 Day 564/2
We actually want to drive around Oslo, too, just this one wool shop, yes, we'd have to go there briefly, then we can continue. Gerd fulfils my wish and we leave Oslo again. Only to spend one or two days in nature and yes, also on the laptop, directly on the Oslofjord with the most beautiful view, the best weather and absolute peace and quiet.

It's wonderful to celebrate our little farewell to Norway here in absolute seclusion. We click through the pictures of the last almost 11 weeks of winter in Scandinavia and can't believe it: we really did it, didn't we? We were in the camper in freezing cold Lapland, weren't we? We had snow en masse and "hygge" par excellence.

We froze our butts off at -29° Celsius and our noses tingled in the ice storm. We let pipes freeze and thawed them out again with the hot water bottle. We saw reindeer and moose. Were too slow for the snow hare and discovered woolly mice in Felix's corners.

We searched for herbs in deep snow and, when we couldn't go outside any more, we passed the time in countless museums. We hiked far too little and ate far too many cinnamon buns to compensate. We carried far too much stuff around with us and yet only ever wore the same clothes.

We are a bit ragged, eat together from a small board, sometimes even directly from the pot. At least we force ourselves to wash the dishes in the evening so that we are always ready to leave. And we stick to the fad that at every break, no matter how short it may be, the candle bowl is placed on the table for romance.

We really had a great time in the north. And in December we still thought: Who knows how far we'll get. Let's have a look...

And once again, the elderly lady on the Hurtigruten rings in my ear: "I started dreaming far too late!"

Thank you, you wonderful life, for being so good to us and for letting us dream so much already.
