Krabi, Thailand

Two days ago we landed in Krabi, Thailand which is on the southwestern coast of the Andaman Sea. It is a true tourist resort trap with all the infrastructure one could
ever ask for and much much more luxury than you every really need to live a happy life. We knew that we'd be going into something like this, but felt it a good way of aclimatising to the western world again and just relaxing a couple of days before heading home for good.

The weather has been perfect and the first day we simply relaxed by the pool and strolled along the beach, packed with sunburnt tourists! :) It was nice not having to think about our next travel steps and enjoy doing nothing.

Today I went climbing in the Raylay Beach areas. The rock was amazing and so was the scenery. Highlight was a 6b, which I didn't lead, unfortunately. Anja enjoyed another day by the pool, going through her daily 2h excercise routine and swimming 1km!

We are happy and healthy as can be and are just VERY, VERY excited to fly home the day after tomorrow. The lenght of our trip has been perfect, not too short, not too long (of course it's a matter of knowing ahead of time) - but all in all we just feel blessed to have been able to see so many wonderful corners of this beautiful earth, with all the different cultures, their food, their daily life, and the animals so diverse, abundant and precious! We hope that we can share this experience with all of you in person sometime in the near future.

SWITZERLAND, HERE WE COME...
