The journey home was imminent and, as always, wanderlust arose on the drive to Bangkok airport. I could have booked a new trip straight away 😅 The taxi ride to the airport went...

Saturday, October 14, 2023 The flight was scheduled to take off from Düsseldorf at 6:45 p.m. But it's probably not possible without delays, so we took off in a relaxed manner,...
