August 28, 2023 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
We are back home after 143 days, 4,5 months, 54 footprints, 512 pictures, 5 countries, 59 different sleeping places (hotel/guesthouses/resorts/apartments/house/tent/family/friends) and countless memories.
No doubt it was fun, fascinating, adventurous, eye-opening, inspiring, relaxing, playful, explorative, valuable, a (once in a) life(time) experience, and unforgettable. But at the same time it was also intense, frustrating, stressful, difficult and challenging. In short, one big ADVENTURE!! After serious dinner discussions, we came up with some favorites of our trip.
Thanks for following the Tiki 🐭 🐭 🐭 🐭 family!! A few more days to settle in before ‘normal life’ - school, daycare, work - starts. But after such a trip, we are pretty zen (like Milo in the picture 🧘).
PS: There is a neighborhood (named after a small island) called Pulau Tikus in Penang, Malaysia 🤣.
