Made it to Finnmark, Queen of Hitchiking
I have started my journey to the Skiippagurra festival in Finnmark, I have made it to Sognefjorden and I am continuing today, hoping to make it quite far. Happy happy days. All you have to do is SMILE! and people pick you up no bother.
and.......YEAH!!! I made it to Finnmark after 2400km of hitch hiking. Yes what fun. On my way there, I visited a friend of mine in the idyllic village Solvorn by one of the stunning fjords in Norway. This particular friend changed his surname to Eplet (the apple) after realizing that he actually spends most of his time making apple juice. Personally I think he only wanted Macintosh to sponsor him with a swish Apple laptop, hahaha. Perhaps I will change my surname to Microsoft. And I might get something nice from that wealthy guy in America. Anyway, go and visit this interesting apple guy who runs a fantastic apple hostel with home made juice Check it out!
And after getting a lift over the Sognefjell with a hungarian family in a shitty car, I met a truck driver near Trondheim who was going to Tromsø, but had to load in Oslo first! Well, I regret it now, but I said yes and went all the way down to Oslo and we got delayed and shit. Had to spend 48 hours in a truck with this strange looking weird guy. Long white hair and beard. Hm, another marriage proposal, which I refused. And after a couple of nasty overtaking trucks attempts, I left him in Mo i Rana. He asked if I would miss him. Ragnhild doesn't answer stupid questions like that! Of course I won't miss him! Hm, imagine 48 hours of deep conversations about love, loving yourself, relationships and stuff, I was pretty happy to leave!
I celebrated midsummer night with a nice guy in Ulvsvåg. We drank beer in his car and chucked branches on a fire which all the people had left many hours ago. I don't understand. Why don't people stay out all night? We managed to lift a huge tree root which we named "the root to all evil". We felt we saved the world when we chucked it on the bonfire (you can see it above). And almost died laughing as we sang "Gubben og gamla dei låg og dro..."!! I fell asleep in the boot of the car amongst oil containers and beer bottles. nice.
The last day I hitch hiked 1200km! And ended up in Tana bru where the guy I was catching a lift with invited me along to his friends house where I got fresh salmon, champagne, beer, salad, potatoes and a comfortable bed to sleep in. Yes! The next day, the 5 norwegian/finnish kids in the family wanted me to see their puppies:
I have arrived in Vardø and have visited my dear friend Ingunn and her newborn son (a week old!). I changed a nappy for the first time in my life. And it was not so bad. Ingunn said I was good at it. Yeah! I am happy for her, myself and the whole world seems like it is going to explode with positive energy and happiness, yeeeeaaah!! (.....and NO, I don't do drugs)
elsku Ragnhild. Það er gaman að lesa bloggið þitt, jákvæð orka beint í æð og ég sendi þér eina slíka núna og einn koss í poka.
Hæ Anna Katrín og Takk! það er ekki oft ég fæ koss í poka. Já það er ekki erfitt að vera jákvæð þegar ég hitti svona æðislegt folk hérna í Norður Noregi. ég er svo ánægð og finnst mér njóta lifsins bara meira og meira. jibbi! sjáumst kannski í lók ágúst?
