The Junction

I cannot say good-bye without tears, once if I spend for more than three days. When I left from Arnt's place (he hosted me for 6 days), I cannot say thank you to him without tears, even I cannot say anything just because I moved very much for his hospitality, firstly. I have never cried during this journey to say good- bye to someone that was my first time start to cry. I don't know exactly why teras came out from my eyes but I think I feel like alone as well as my gratitude to him. The days to spend his place was special for me even though I haven't noticed before to say good bye to him.

That's why I was a little bit afreaid to say good-bye to Steffen, who he traveled with me about 10 days since we met at Arnt's place. After we left from Arnt's place, we as well as Cristfer, who is also German cyclist stated to go Olderfjord for two days. Because of our lazy sleeping, Cristfer left to there a little bit faster than us. That's why we, I and Steffen kept continue to travel until the Junction, which is the place we were supposed to say good-bye. Steffen as I told you, he is from Germany by bicycle from Trondheim to up to Northcape. After we met Arn't place we went together to the northernmost point in Europe as well as Nordkapp. Yesterday, we know each other that we were going to go to different way according to each shcedule. He is going back his home from Alta and I wanted to go to Hammerfest. In the morning, it was normal day as we are keep continuing on our jounery but when we get to the junction we got what we were doing. I thought that I must say something to him because he helped me quite. But I couldn't say anything that I thought because if I say something about to him I would most probably start to cry. Since I did to Arnt, I didn't want to cry again or smiling at last. Without anything special to him, I regret that I didn't say to him a lot because after we headed for each ways, I started to cry. So, this time I will write something that I wanted to say him.

Dear Steffen
