The journey home to Switzerland

At 6 am we shovel the car free, then the ferry carries us into the sunrise. Via Bodø, Oslo and Zurich we head back to Basel.

In short

At 6 am we shovel the car free, then the ferry carries us straight into the sunrise. Via Bodø, Oslo and Zurich we head home, including the obligatory extra screening of Nicolas' camera backpack. In Basel the Nordic winter dream ends with a Vito pizza.

We start early today. By 6 am we’re already shovelling the car free, as it snowed again overnight. The drive to the ferry port goes well despite snow-covered roads, and the ferry departs punctually at 07:00. By then we’ve already claimed comfortable window seats and are looking forward to the crossing, because we’re sailing straight into the sunrise! In Bodø we return the hire car and check in our luggage. Security is almost deserted. We’re the only ones being screened, and of course Nicolas’ backpack gets its usual separate inspection thanks to all the cameras.

After the usual de-icing, the flight is very calm and we arrive safely in Oslo. We buy lunch there and board the next flight, this time to Zurich. That flight is very smooth too, and we land in Zurich at 19:00. From there the train takes us to Basel, where we treat ourselves to a Vito pizza for dinner.
