thailand

heh, before i write about nepal, i quickly update my whereabouts. it seems quite a long time ago that we were in nepal, even if it's less than a week ago we sat around a warming fire in a bar in otherwise pretty chilly kathmandu.

well, on thursday we left to varanasi, i finished my work there and we jumped on a train to kolkata, and changed our flight in the airport...and flew the same day we arrived, a few hours flight (jet airways is THE BEST company i ever flew with...but later the admiring details) and we were in warm bangkok, went to the trainstation, took leftover seats for a train more south...3rd class sitting overnight, took a ferry in the morning... and now, now we have been in this small paradise for two days. hot, beaches, palms, friendly people, nice bungalow, delicious delicious food, sun, quietness, going around on my rented scooter on good roads. ocean everywhere. quietness. calmness. what a change! a little holiday within the travelling. and we'll be jumping from island to island for a while. before going up north and getting to know thailand more. (more than these wonerful touristic beaches where we mostly think about where to eat next and which bikinies to wear...)
hugs to all, hope your x-mas preparations are bringing you joy!
