Ingrid and Marcel World Journey

Here is a best of what we have seen up to now:

– a family of four (mom driving, one kid in the front, 2 kids on the back)

– driver + 3 big propane bottles

– driver + a bird cage

– driver + a monster size bag of hay

– 2 dogs (one in the front with back legs on the seat and the front paws on the steering, one on the back happily looking around)

– back passengers riding in the amazone position

– passengers eating their lunch on the back

– in order: the driver, the 3 year-old standing, the mom

– driver holding: a baby in one arm, the steering with the other

– driver and passenger + a edge trimmer (passenger holds the back, driver the front part)

– driver + a one year old standing in the front, hands on the steering

– driver + 3 year old passenger

– driver + passenger + bicycle

– driver + 2 passengers + 2 tools boxes + cable rolls + ladder

– driver + pig (yes, pig) (dead pig)

He our cosy vacation on Koh Samui are over! Yes, Marcel’s back is almost healed: they finally declared his wound bacteria free 2 days ago and sewed him up. So now we only need to find a clinic to get this cleaned up every 2-3 days and if all goes well in 7-10 days get the stitches removed. Tadaaa!

Pauvre Marcel, being on an island at the beach and not being able to swim….what a bummer! And now we’re moving on….to no swimming possibilities land. Oh well. Did I mention we should be going to Bali in October? He can catch up there 🙂

So tomorrow at 14h30 a bus should pick us up to take us to the pier, we’ll hop on the ferry, on the other side we get back on the bus and recline our seats for the 12 hours ride to Bangkok. Once we arrive there at 05h00 we then need to get on a taxi or tuck-tuck to the station and try to catch the 05h50 eastbound train; if this doesn’t work then we’ll need to get to the eastern bus station and get a bus for the 4h30 ride to the Cambodian border. You see we can’t really miss this one, our visa expires on the 30th…. Not that the Thais care so much actually: if you overstay your visa you just pay 500Bat per day, but still, we’d rather not push our luck.

This all means: we’re back on the road! Final destination: (another 8-10 hours bus ride after the border crossing) Angkor!

Es war einmal der Marcel mit vielen Lipomen, bis eines unter der Haut geplatzt ist.

Diese entzuendete sich innerhalb von 10 Tagen zu einem ca. 4cm runden roten Flecken. uerg. Als es immer mehr weh tat, rief ich die 24 Stunden Nummer meiner Krankenkasse an und schilderte alles.

Die Antwort war, das kann eine Blutvergiftung werden, dadurch ab in Spital.

OK, dann halt am naechsten morgen ins Spital und es stellte es sich als eine Zyste heraus :-). Nur eine Stunde spaeter unters Messer… (Die effizienz dieses Spitals ist einfach der Hammer)

Jetzt muss ich jeden Tag ins Spital, um die offengehaltene Wunde zu reinigen, bis keine Bakterien/Entzuendung mehr vorhanden ist.

Die Bilder sind nicht alle nichtinlochguckfreundlich 🙂

Vorher, vor dem Spital fuer die letzte Zigarette vor dem Schnippeln und das Danach mit dem Medisack.
