April - May 2013

The days went by in Doi Saket and we enjoyed a quiet time with friends and pets. Great bike rides with Hardy- my personal record was 80 kms a day, more to come.... Biggi and Hardy left on April 14th, so  I convinced Yogurt to go with me and he managed better than expected with his bad back. The first day he did 40K at an average of 20 km/hr. On one of the rides we dicovered the botanic garden in Doi Saket and found out that we even have camels in Doi Saket....
Our visa run was due in April just before Songkhran and we spent two days in Chiang Rai Province. On May 13th we are bound for Europe again.... Time just flies by.

Mungo is suspiciously observing our packing....
Yeah - cycling with Hardy and of course coffee is essential!
 Die Zeit vergeht wie im Flug und wir geniessen schoene Tage mit Freunden und den Tieren. Ich habe das Velo Fahren entdeckt und fahre mit Hardy alle paar Tage. Mein weitestes war bislang eine 80 km Tour. Nachdem Biggi und Hardy am 14 April wieder nach Deutschland flogen, konnte ich auch Juergen fuer ein paar Runden Velo gewinnen. Hier entdeckten wir u. a. den Botanischen Garten in Doi Saket. Dann hatten wir noch unseren Visa Run und wir blieben 2 Tage in Chiang Rai und Thaton.
Am 13. Mai brechen wir wieder auf - 2 Monate Europa....

Judith and Ruediger came to visit for a week in March and we had a great and relaxing time together. We went to the National Park, had dinner at Tharnthong Lodge, and enjoyed days of just doing nothing!!!



The first evening a thunderstorm at Wiang Duria caused a power cut. Rusty was so scared....
