Thanks!


One of the surprises of travelling is that you come to miss some of the most extraordinary things: Zossiss (luxembourgish sausage), Muesli, curries, nailbrush, milk, tea, football, wooden chairs, talking letzebuergesch, Gala, and Nutella (ok, I admit, that was to be expected).
Then again, you come to like other things, revealing rather odd traits of your character: reading Agatha Christie, Lipton tea with lemon, DW TV, train toilets, toilet paper, shower cabins, cockroach-free zones, shade, hats, rain, earplugs, eyeshades, cars which use indicators instead of hooting.
Some of our longings were thankfully answered by some supplies imported by Rebecca and Christine, with whom we spent a great month in Vietnam. The best of that trip was probably the trip to halong bay and the day in the dunes of Mui Ne. Just off the beach, there are huge dunes, white ones and yellow ones, in which you can do sand-sliding.
Sounds sophisticated? It is: a ten-year-old boy (school was already finished, I'm sure) waits for the tourist jeeps, leads you through the dunes and at some point gives you a thin plastic board. Lie on it and off you go, down the steep dunes. It's very exciting, especially if you don't expect it to go that fast (yes, the boy is lighter than us) and that you end up like fried fish in batter: yellow, sweaty and full of crumbs.
Given that we're having a bit of a break in our travels, we'd just like to thank you for reading our blog (we'll be back!), and especially thank the people with whom we shared some of the trip here: Christine and Rebecca (merci fir de Schokola and d'Zossiss!) and of course Krijn, Lisa and Stijn, with whom we discovered Laos. Hope you got home alright and stick to eating fruit in the morning:)
