  • A month in paradise - Bali

    18. februar 2018, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Ahh, paradise. There is something very magical about Bali. It’s the combination of the culture, the people who exhibit an inner happiness and peace, the warm welcome you’re given everywhere, the stunning scenery and more. We are spending our first few days near Ubud (which has become a Mecca for searchers after “Eat, Pray, Love”). We are living in the middle of rice paddies where it is totally quiet. After a few days we’ll move to one of the beaches.Les mer

  • Beyond luxury

    16. februar 2018, Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    One night back in Bangkok before flying to Bali on Saturday. The hotel upgraded our room. I have stayed at many great hotels but this is so far beyond I can’t believe it. They might have to evict us. Take a look at the videos. I’m not sure if it will all post.Les mer

  • A spectacular day

    14. februar 2018, Thailand ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    Today was spent on the water visiting 4 islands near Krabi. What a trip. The water was crystal clear, blue green. You could see colored fish swimming without using a mask. The sand was superfine. There were countless outcroppings of small, uninhabited islands. Breathtaking!Les mer

  • The ultimate wedding destination

    14. februar 2018, Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    If you’re looking for the very special wedding, how about a Rock Climbing Wedding Ceremony on Railay Beach in Thailand. As part of the ceremony you visit The Princess Cave for fertility. The wedding parties arrived by wooden long tail boats. The women had to hike Up their wedding dresses so they didn’t get wet.Les mer

  • Real Thai food

    8. februar 2018, Thailand ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

    Some of the most delicious Thai food I’ve had, served with the biggest smiles. How can you not love it? Sour chicken wings, spicy grilled beef salad, green curry with seafood, crazy delicious steamed fish with spicy lemon sauce and to finish off, mango with (black) sticky rice.Les mer

  • Day 2 in Krabi

    7. februar 2018, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    The good news today is that Dore is feeling much better. The bad news is that I have the flu as well with a very high fever. Just back from a doctor’s visit. I have started on the flu medicine and my plan is to wake up tomorrow feels by much better. No lunch or dinner for me today 😱 so my appetite better come back soon. In the meantime, check out the main pool. So big that even 2 photos won’t get it all in.Les mer

  • Day 1 in Krabi

    6. februar 2018, Thailand ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

    Krabi is in Southern Thailand across from Phuket. We arrived this morning for 10 days of doing absolutely nothing (except for lazing in the beach, taking walks, reading and of course eating lots of delicious Thai food. The one problem: Dore has the flu. He got hit with it Sunday afternoon and gas spent the last 3 days in bed. A visit to the doctor here was helpful. He has some meds to ease symptoms (hopefully). This was definitely not part of the plan!Les mer

  • A day at the dentist

    5. februar 2018, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Thailand is known as a medical vacation destination. People come for plastic surgery, medical procedures and dentistry. I needed a thorough cleaning and have been having pain with a tooth for a week. So off I went today to a Bangkok dental clinic. On entering it felt much more like a spa - very modern and comfortable. Everyone spoke English and all of the clients were tourists. I ended up having 2 X-rays, a dental cleaning (done by a dentist), a consult with a crown specialist and a periodontal appointment. The various exam rooms were spotlessly clean and the equipment was more modern than anything I’ve seen in the States. 4 hours later I was done. The total was approximately $ 137-. I estimate that in Portland it would have been at least $450- No too bad!Les mer

  • Leaving Portland (for now)

    28. januar 2018, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 9 °C

    It’s time to say “See you later Portland “. Tonight is our last night in our house. We shared some wine and snacks with friends this afternoon which only reinforced how special Portland is to me. The movers arrive first thing Monday morning to move everything to storage. Packing isn’t done yet but somehow everything always gets finished. Tuesday afternoon it’s off to Los Angeles for the night so we can catch an early morning flight to Singapore. First real stop is Thailand: 4 days in Bangkok (how many meals can I eat in 4 days???) then 10 days on the beach in Krabi. Photos and lists to follow.Les mer
