We have been busy with house planning and moving in the past one year especially when we did everything by ourselves therefore he initiated if we could travel only both of us.
Seeing Northern Light or Aurora Borealis was one of his bucket list therefore without hesitation, we started planning everything 3 months before our departure.
We did some searches and there were suggestions of the places where we could see Aurora Borealis and one of them was Tromso, Northern Norway.
So we took Finnair Flight from Singapore, transited at Helsinki and Oslo then we took Scandinavia Air to fly to Tromso.
When we were about to land, we were speechless because it was all covered by snow and beautiful black and white.
We arrived there in the afternoon and since it was early winter, the sun set pretty early around 3's pm.
We managed to go to the Cathedral and had early dinner.
At night, we joined the local tour group hunting for Aurora.
The weather was not so good at first because it was cloudy, however the tour leader was not giving up.
We moved from one place to another place in the darkest night.
Finally we managed to see a glance of Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky somewhere between Norway and Finland border.
We quickly took a picture before it's gone.
We felt satisfied and grateful to be able to tick one of the bucket lists.
The next day, we explored the city and went to the church for Sunday mass. The church was so empty only 8 of us.
The city was quiet and peaceful and saw many residents greeted and knew each other.
We loved this city much and will be back someday perhaps with our sons.
