EXACTLY 4 MONTHS AFTER WE STARTED!
Tonight we will leave SEA and get on a plane to Sydney. Halbzeit!
It's time for a little reflection on the first half of our trip (or, as I&U might call it, a 'Bergfest-Referat'):
We laid our head in approx. 35 different villages, towns and cities in 6 different countries during the last 123 days (averaging a stay of 3,5 days per place).
Place we were most keen on leaving quickly: Cemoro Lawang.
Place we didn't want to leave: Oh so many! (Don't worry, dear friends - you'll 'get' to see the slideshow when we are back!)
During the last four months we have not spent more than 50 hours apart. And we still like each other!
Morten got a bit of a tan and lost 6 kilos.
I got very tanned and didn't really lose any weight. (Darn!)
Morten had 3 haircut- and beard trimming sessions by people with varying degrees of skill. From now on I might have to do the job - can't afford such luxury in Sydney!
We lost three pairs of sunglasses, one tote bag, one iPod touch - but nothing really important yet! (Except for our wallet, which a friendly Lao waiter returned the next morning .)
And NOTHING got stolen from us so far, except for my very old pair of flip flops (seriously? eeew.)
I fixed approximately 30 holes in our worn-out travel wardrobe, but we didn't have to toss anything except for some seriously done-for pairs of shoes.
We did 8 dives and saw tons of cool sea life, but - dammit! - still no sharks!
And we almost stayed on budget.
But again, most importantly: WE STILL LIKE EACH OTHER! (even enough to get married.)
And we really miss all of you! (but not enough to come home just yet.)
Enjoy your Sunday!
