Back in May we caught a flight to Germany to visit families and friends at home. Despite giving interviews to a local newspaper and TV and radio stations we spent 2 weeks of private time there – sorry, no pictures :-)
On 13th we returned to Bangkok. We picked up our bicycles from our bikesitters Nina and Nico and worked on cleaning, servicing and boxing our bikes during the next couple of days.
