I can't believe I didn't continue with my travel blog. I have been to SO many places since then. And while traveling back from one of the trips in May 2019 I listed the countries I've been to. And to many of them also couple of times already. So here is the list: - Finland - Latvia - Lithuania - Russia - Sweden - Norway - Poland - Denmark - The Netherlands - UK - Scotland - Ireland - Germany - France - Spain - Portugal - Italy - Vatican - Monacco - Austria - Czech Republic - Slovakia - Slovenia - Croatia - Greece - Turkey - USA - Japan - Singapore - Indonesia/Bali - India It's 31 in total. Wow! I am so lucky to have had these opportunities. Right now I feel eager to share the times and memories with this blog. Let's see how I manage.
I wish I had been in Norway more. But unfortunately my only trip to Norway was quite short and superficial. We went for a trip with my family and another family with whom we are close. And thank goodness that we still get along! I mean going for a trip can be a friendship-ending activity. Our Norway was mid-Norway and mostly Alesund and Geiranger. The other places were just a blur from the window of the minibus. Norway has just amazing and powerful nature - the mountains, the fjords, the forests. I could just imagine from what I saw there that Canada might be similar. As I haven't been in Canada yet then I can't also comment on it. We had the Norway trip round the summer solstice and so it was just for our amazement that the Norwegians had also traditions related to fire, as us Estonians have. But since then I have noticed that us Europeans have many traditions which do not come from the church and are maybe considered paganism or such sort of belief. Something
