Yesterday was my last full day in Norway. I was originally planning on heading home then, but since it was my sisters birthday I decided to extend my trip by 1 day. It was a lovely day spent with my loved ones. A perfect ending to a nice trip.
I woke up at around noon again and just waited for my sister to come back from her 17km run. In our family we always celebrate a little bit in the morning, but then the main part is that we all go out for dinner at a place where the birthday person wants to go. After my sister and I had eaten our chocolate cake my dad and I prepared ourself for our finale outing.
We drove to a place called “Fetsund” which was a place around 30 min outside of Oslo. In the old days one of the ways they would transfer huge logs was that they would send it down Norway’s biggest river called “Glomma” and then there would different places where people would work at taking out the logs from the river. It was apparently a dangerous job because they would have to balance on top and one misstep would lead to you getting crushed between two logs. We saw the water platforms they used and the saw. It was a perfect day. Not too cold and not too hot. There were a fair bit of mosquitos there though, but besides that everything was good.
After we had gotten home we change out of our current clothes and into some nicer ones for the birthday dinner. The place we were heading to was an Asian place called “Tatakii”. It was in the middle of town. The place looked really nice. You could choose to sit outside or inside. We decided on inside.
I ordered a “Hao Gao” which were dumplings with pork and scampi with chili paste and then I had the “Crispy duck” which was 1/4 of Crispy fried pulled duck and served with pancakes, 5 types of vegetables, and 2 types of sauce. I do not remember the what the vegetables were. As a dessert I had Crème brûlée with pandan flavour and today’s sorbet. It all tasted really delicious, especially the duck. Rest of the family had dumplings, salad and lamb. Sadly my father wasn’t too happy with his dishes, but he ate them regardless.
When we had eaten we went back home and watched the last episode of the crime series that we watched the first night. I headed to bed semi early since I had to wake up early for today’s flight.
There isn’t really a point to include today since it was mostly spent traveling, but it was really nice seeing my boyfriend again, returning to my pc and I also ordered a new phone which I’m excited to get and hope it will arrive here during this week.
Hope you guys have enjoyed the blog posts this week. I also hope you all had a nice week too. Next post will most likely be about TwitchCon which is at the end of June, so until then. I wish you all a lovely summer and as always, stay healthy and safe.
