*sigh*
We're back from our vacation, but still recovering. Everyone in this family is out of shape and i don't know when it all will be back to normal again. As usual here, the wind is howling and the temperature is near -30C, the ongoing gale just making it worse. But the blue period has started: during midday the sky and the mountains are all blue in different shades - it's beautiful.

I start from the end. The last days of our Estonian trip we were just like zombies. Although we limited visitations and going around, it still got crazy. Because crazy things kept happening. But even when something went wrong, it went all right again. This rollercoasterride wasn't bad itself, but it drained a lot of energy.
Our flight from Tallinn got delayed because of the sudden snow in Oslo. It meant we had even less time to transfer than before and as we remembered it was always 'running like nobody's watching' in Oslo. This airport is too small for their traffik, honestly. The line in the security check? They should separate the domestic and the international already before the security check? And im not even starting to talk about the strollers, when you'r on the domestic flight, because there aren't any to be found. I like to work out, but not with my baby under my arm, our coats under the other, a backpack and my passport between my teeth. We lost our phones, liquids, babyfood, e-book, Juss's shoes and some other important stuff in the security check: i didn't see them, Martin didn't, so each one thought the other one had taken them. So silly, when i think about it now.
Stressed, trying to calm down, figuring out solutions as soon as we arrive at Longyear. And then... in Tromso the flight to Longyear is delayed for two hours. After two hours it's cancelled. Hungry, tired, lost, sad. The battery completely empty.
It had been raining and the runnway here is very icy, in addition the wind was strong and unpredictable. A plane not going to/from Longyear as supposed to, is something everyone i know living here, has experienced at least once. SAS had us all booked a pretty hotel and we got to eat nice food. But the thought of our lost items still ruined the mood, since it was hard to get any kind of contact. (Note to self: write down some phonenumbers!). The snow in Oslo had mixed up many peoles plans i think.

Probably in some days i see what photos our camera has stored and share some vacation crazyness :) Until then: rest, recover, chill!
