One decade later I was back in Tromsø Norway again. It
was a three generations’ holiday summer 2011; me, my father and my girl. The
purpose of the trip was to enjoy the perfect scenery and to participate into
the midnight sun orienteering competition in the area that had been rewarded as
the most beautiful orienteering area in the world. Such enjoyable three
generations’ moments are very rare.

We had about 90 minutes drive from Tromsø to the
competition center in the Kirkevik and the same route back after the
competition. The most optimal route included a short ferry ride over the sea. One
of the competitions was arranged late evening, a real midnight sun event.
Everyone was tired after the race and we tried to get quickly back to the
hotel. We drove almost one hour to see that the ferry was no more operation at
the night time. We had only two options; sleep on a car until the next ferry in
morning or take another route back to the hotel. We chose the latter one and
after three hours of driving we were ready to go to bed.
Lessons learnt:
Remember to adjust your plans to the situation.
