Sleeping Beauty : Imagine having to sleep in a sewage treatment plant. It would smell of feces, it would be loud, warm and clammy. That's exactly what we experienced last night. To describe the night as “bad” would be an understatement. We tossed and turned, kept awake by Nina's coughing. The disgusting air in the room probably had an even more irritating effect on her bronchi. Ronja continued her education tonight with the help of podcasts. Do you have any tips for our next night? It's not that unimportant because we won't sleep at all the night after next due to the onward journey.

Dirty Dancing : In the morning we went for breakfast and then we felt better. We were ready to book our onward journey to Bangkok and are looking forward to traveling for 13 hours tomorrow. We arrive in Bangkok in the middle of the night and want to find a club where we can pass the 3 hours before we drive to the airport. Dancing seems like the best option to us.

The Bargain Hunter : After the planning was in place, we strolled a bit through the streets and along the beach. We didn't miss a bikini shop before we finally arrived in bikini paradise. The store was incredibly big. We spent over an hour choosing new bikinis and spent very little money. The yield makes us happy!

Pretty Woman : After a lunch on the beach consisting of pasta with pesto and an iced tea, we decided to do a photo shoot. Nina loves photography, Ronja wanted to be in front of the camera. That was a perfect fit. We spent some time taking advantage of the wonderful light and creating beautiful memories again.

Let's talk : Dinner was Greek. Incredibly delicious wraps/baguettes. We talked a lot about feelings and insights from the last 4 weeks. Because today was the last sensible day for the two of us in Thailand. The time here really went by so quickly. So much has happened, we have learned, live our lives, feel all sorts of things. This trip is so valuable!

Breaking Down : At the hotel we were looking forward to looking at the pictures. We connected the camera SD card to the MacBook and waited. Somehow the first images in the preview stalled. And then nothing happened for a while. The next moment we wanted to call up the pictures again, but what we said was: nothing. All the pictures were gone. Wow. The pictures were our highlight of the day, once they were gone it was like the day completely lost its light. While Nina immediately went to bed feeling emotional, Ronja kept a cool head and googled for a solution. Using software, we managed to restore the images from the SD card. We paid just under €60 for that. But it was worth it to us. The pictures were back 1.5 hours later. The effort was worthwhile!

“Nina, if we don’t find roti now, I’ll post a naked picture on Insta”

No alcohol isn't a solution either: We're still sitting in a beach bar, hanging out in the beanbags (like two sips of water on the bend) and sipping another Chang. Don't worry, we definitely won't come back as alcoholics! There is a 4-in-a-row game between us, which unfortunately we lost interest in after just one game. We really feel like our room smells a little less unpleasant and are hoping for a restful night.
Until tomorrow
Ronja & Nina
