Yesterday was the day my parents headed home. We didn’t do anything besides trying to get to the airport as soon as possible, but something interesting happened.
So the day started very abruptly with me getting a call from my mother telling me that I had to try to get to their hotel withing 45 min. So I literally jumped out of the bed, got dressed and ran out the door. Thankfully there wasn’t any trouble with traffic so I made it bang on 12:30. The first thing we did was ordering a taxi to the central station where we were going to take the train to the airport.
When the taxi came we loaded all the baggage and sat us in. We started talking Norwegian and suddenly the driver was like “You guys from Norway?” and my mother responded with “Yes, how did you know”. It turned out that the driver had family living in Oslo and therefore could understand and speak a little bit of Norwegian and I just thought to myself, what are the chances for that to happen. So we had a really nice conversation with the driver in Norwegian, which I wasn’t expecting.
After we got the the train station we just bought our tickets and headed down to the platform. Since our train was delayed by 10 min we had enough time to just walk at our own pace. Not a lot happened the rest of the day. It was mostly just walking and waiting. We did have a lovely last lunch together at the airport where I went with a dish called “Vol-au-vent” which was quite tasty. Then it was time to say hug my parents goodbye. I asked them to send me a message when they had arrived at home and then headed home. I just made it on time to start my stream at 6pm.
I was planning on just doing my standard 6h, but when it was midnight I thought I was so close to finish my Elden Ring run by defeating the final boss, but little did I know that it would take 2.5h alone to just defeat one guy. After my stream I just chilled on the sofa before heading to bed.
But it was really nice to spend this time with my parents, as I mentioned earlier, it was the first time my parents visited me since I moved out. Ever since my dad was diagnosed with ” pulmonary fibrosis” traveling was a no go up until last year, so it was really great to be able to show them around and have them see for themself how and where I live. It was on the list of things I would love for my parents to take part in together with my wedding and the potential birth of their first grand child. I will be visiting them this summer because my cousin is going to baptise her child on the 9th of June which I am looking forward to, but that was it for this week.
I hope you guys enjoy the posts and everything and I’ll see you next time ^^
