We had booked ourselves a beautiful little hotel in Bangkok. Splurging for the last 2 nights. But we were very disappointed when we got there. This was not how we would like to end this amazing trip. So we immediately decided to check out the next morning and find ourselves a better place. But first we had to get up at 05:30 am to go on a bicylce tour we already booked. This was great! Cycling through narrow alleyways discovering Bangkok off the beaten track. We drove around for 3 hours and crossed the river by riverboat with the bicycles. When we got back to the hotel, we got our bags and went to our new hotel.

P.S. taxidrivers in Bangkok... unbelievable! They can't do anything right. But at least it's cheaper and cooler than a tuk-tuk, at least if you can convince them to use the meter!

Our new hotel, whooohooo! Yes! This is the perfect place to spend the last 30 hours of our more or less 4344 hour round the world trip. Relax, eat some great food, shop for some last-minute souvenirs, etc.

It's funny how the mind works. Mentally you grow to the point that the trip is over. Because we know it's over, you actually a more or less ready to go back. Partly even glad, to be able to see all of you life again, have a permanent place to stay, eat rice twice a week in stead of twice a day.

Of course, we want more, of course we don't want to go back. But of course we also do like to go back at the same time.

Our taxi to the airport will go in 11 hours.

This is it! This WAS it! It's been fantastic! We are coming home!
