This world wide crisis has caused an abrupt end to life as we know it…

Posted byChristinePosted inUncategorized

..and inevitably this has now caught up with us here in paradise too. We have been closely following the situation, and have gotten increasingly worried with the chaotic progression of Covid-19 both at home and world wide. With both of us being doctors, it additionally it is important to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with our colleagues back home. It is terrible to see the world as we know falling apart around us, and even though Costa Rica is not (yet) affected, it is probably just a question of time. UDI is urging all Norwegian citizens abroad to come home and we are in addition urged and wanted by our employers.

So with this, our family adventure and our dreams come to an end here, for now…

I´ve got 5 more posts already in the making with adventures from the past weeks, and will post them, because this blog was originally intended primarily for us to remember our wonderful family adventures, in addition to keep our loved ones up to date. But it is with a heavy, and a little bit broken heart I post them now.

We are so grateful for the time we got here together as a family and all the wonderful adventures we got to take part in. The memories will stay with us in our hearts forever, and has made an immensely positive change and good impact on our lives. The positive side is that now we get to see all our loved ones and our dear Sandie again.

I end this post with words from my favorite musical of all times (when the main character Maria is in great despair):

“When God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window…”

  1. God moves in a mysterious way..
    It is true one door closes and a window opens. Just thankful that it is possible for you to come home and be with the family. At the same time one wonders about how the world will cope with this crisis but there isnt any option we can see at the moment as things do seem to happen really fast. Memories stay in our hearts and you have this wonderful blog to read over and over again and relive the memories.
    Thinking of you all and sending love. Safe journeys.

  6. Must have been difficult though, but I do understand. We will have to stay in Far North Queensland since we are responsible for the job we got and can’t just run away from that……. So far not as bad as in Norway, but probably just a question of time…… Thinking of you!! Cheers, Liv Berit
