days 186 & 187 of 365 | the life of Joanna Marie


i still have a hang-over from our trip to the north. we didn't make any plans what to do after our stay in Ruka. the night before leaving Kuusamo, daddy took out the map and we just decided which route to take. our main goal was to get to Kilpisjärvi. 

and, i told daddy that i had a dream the night before the trip. i dreamt that we were driving around Norway and getting to Stryn. then daddy called to Kjersti to ask if they are home and if we could visit them. in my dream Kjersti sounded so excited, she said that they were not home at that moment but they will be in the evening. if we would still be in Stryn that time, then she'll be happy to see us. but daddy said, no. we won't stay long in Stryn because we are going to Turku. in my dream, i was so angry at him! we were already in Stryn and we can't even stay to meet Kjersti 😠 i was really mad with him!

so, when i told him about my dream, we crossed the border of Finland and Norway 😁

it was like...beyond my dreams! the places that we visited were Skibotn and Maandalen along the Lyngenfjord. i felt so nostalgic. it was like being back in Stryn. the mountains, the fjord...everything reminded me of Stryn. i am just so happy that daddy took that mile to drive around the mountains and through the tunnels to make my dream come true 💓

it was one of the nicest trips we've had. the weather was mostly nice. i didn't mind the heavy rain and wind that came with it on some nights. i even get to see Aurora Borealis during our stay in one camping area!!! i was so excited and happy! seeing the northern lights was a big big bonus for me!

nine days, daddy drove three thousand three hundred kilometers, we visited thirteen towns, camped at seven camping sites, ate five bags of chips, two bars of chocolates, countless photos, a lot of unforgettable memories!

autumn of 2022
my heart is full!
