Hugs from Bangkok!

First full day in Bangkok it's awesome in every way - it feels so familiar it's like we never left. Weird and wonderful. Access to technology is limited just now (squatting the wifi in the hotel next to ours, mosquitos attacking big time) but can't wait to upload more pics when we arrive at Alex's house on Koh Samui - we leave on the night train tomorrow.

The dog is sleeping... Given that we have to wake up in 5 hours I think we should do the same....

Be happy, dear friends, let's keep in touch*

Last minute admin.........

Good bye Ali Kebap

A bientôt les copines!

Au revoir les amis! First stop: Koh Samui. The beaches will be a little different than our good old plage de Lutry...

Good bye friends! See you in a year :)

Noam and the boa

...just had to add this one, taken by grandpa Sven in Norway this summer. Er... wonder if we'll be running into any of these during the trip...

Last taste of Swiss nature...

uhm... are you really sure about that bow and arrow?....

Packing!

Finally, finally, everything we are taking were in one room....

Take that yoga mat or not?...

Uhm... if anyone's thinking "boy these pictures are of poor quality" - know that, yes, Karin truly is a remarkably lousy photographer and in addition is using her old iphone for taking pics. The goal of this blog is just to stay in touch - will be super basic! Unless Raphaël gets involved, that is...

Yes - the mask fits!

Finished. Raphaël particularly satisfied with the 1,20m long bow and arrow he found for Noam!

...or how about a Party Grill?...

Sleeping bag, anyone?

In France to buy the last camping gear

"Bon, vous venez ou quoi?"

Anyone seen the ballon-man?

Noam's watching Karin's comical attempts to figure out how this blogging-business works... He really wants me to include Tara's balloon-man on the blog!

Good bye party for the kids

Tara and Noam welcome you to our blog :)

We leave tomorrow morning at 4am! One year of traveling - here's a lame blog and a chance to keep in touch during our adventures
