The last chapter of the trip. Bangkok-Ko Chang-Bangkok-Home. Agu 25- Sep06 2016


The last entry. Wow, looking back now. More then 4 month since our landing back home. It all (the trip) feels like a far away dream.  
Now days we only look back and talk about all the lovely friends that we met on the way, the experience that we had, the food that we opened up to and the culture that we miss.
Some day not that far away we will return for another round. Because we enjoyed every minute of: laughing from weird situations we found ourselves in, fighting over nothing, caring about people that we just met, worrying about if we missed the stop on the bus, Feeling awkward after somebody's trying to talk to us in a language that we don't understand and to many other feeling that we can only miss.
