The journey begins....

1 month ago I figured out summer school is a vast of time, and an extra semester is easier. That means I have no school this summer/Christmas. Mamma and pappa were quite happy, because now I had no excuse for NOT coming home.

Therefore, Tuesday morning, 10.30 I left 12 Vulture St, and started my journey to Norway.
My first stop was in Sydney, where I thought I was late for my plane, hence ran to the one end of the airport to be told that wasn't my flight. Ran back to the other side again, but for no reason at all....we were two hours delayed.
Finally on the plane, I had decided to try something new. Since I can never sleep on planes I decided to hit the free wine. And, it helps!

In Bangkok we just got off and on the plane again, and started the longest flight towards London. I sat next to a Norwegian girl which was really nice. When we landed we had 30 minutes to get to terminal 5 (from 3) to catch the next flight to Oslo. Nothing to do but to start running. We got there 5 minutes too late, and they had already booked us over to the next flight...5 hours later!
Two Norwegian ladies I met had a solution; food, cards and wine. 5 hours later we had to run to the gate after emptying 3 bottles of wine. It was a great way to spend the morning.

Safe in Norway and at Gardermoen, I had to wait another 4 hours. I've never been so tired my whole life before.

Mum and dad picked me up at Evenes. It was so so good to see them again after almost a year.

I woke Thea up. The most confused person I've seen in a very long time. She turned around three times before she realized it wasn't mum waking her up. "Det gaar ikke ann" (It's not possible) came out of her several times before I finally got a hug and a smile. I love surprising people.
