Home - Journeys - Thailand and Vietnam 2025 - Thursday January 9, 2025 to Friday February 7, 2025
This period we continued to collect all kinds of copies that we want to take with us.
And with doing some shopping, instant coffee, syrup waffles, chocolate.
We also hear that Moue and Kaeng have taken two cats into their home, one of which has
already disappeared.
We are curious.
Just before we leave, some unpleasant news arrives from Thailand.
One of the two nieces that we help financially with her studies every month seems to be
making a mess of things.
She has been working on finishing two projects for over a year and a half and she is not
making any progress.
The reason is not entirely clear, she is ill, her phone is not working, ....
And now we hear that familymembers in Thailand (who also help her financially) are also worried.
We decide that Pia should have a serious talk with her.
And there is also a problem with the car that would take us to
Schiphol.
That car hit a curb in a bend, resulting in a flat tire, a damaged rim and an airbag that
went off.
And this damage was caused by someone who borrowed the car for just a while.
It seems that everything is repaired in time, but because the repairs are done by family
and friends, it all takes much longer.
We decide that we will just go to Schiphol with our own car and that the driver who will
take us there will drive our car.
But we test beforehand whether all our luggage fits in our.
And finally we have come to the conclusion that we do not have enough luggage to fill all
the suitcases that we are allowed to take with us (2 suitcases per person).
The solution we come up with is to put a small suitcase in a large one, and that also fits.
Later Pia comes up with the idea to see if the grandchildren have any old clothes left to
take to their nephews and nieces in Thailand, and some clothes come.
Tomorrow we will see when we start packing.
In the meantime we have also checked in online.

We tell what we have done and experienced during a trip and we also tell what we think about it; no more and no less.
This is not a travel guide, nor is it advice to visit a place or not.
There are other sites for that.
Our opinion about places where we have eaten, drunk or slept is not intended as a (positive or negative) assessment,
there are other sites for that.
It is our view of the situation at a certain moment and that view is influenced by our mood,
the weather and many other factors.
