When I returned from my visit to Germany on Christmas I didn’t fly back to Australia immediately, instead I had another stop-over for a couple of days, this time in Singapore. I had been in Singapore before, when I first traveled to Australia in 2008, but I didn’t leave the airport then. This time I brought enough time to check out the city.
Two years ago in early February I arrived in Tasmania. I had been planning to stay for a couple of weeks and now I am starting into my third year, so far with no plans for leaving. A lot has happend during the last year, exciting things, disappointing things, adventures and travels. Here’s a short recapitulation of 2009 with an outlook on what’s planned for this year.
My last day in Thailand, my departure flight was scheduled for midnight. I arranged late checkout with the hotel so I was able to use my room until 4pm. I like hanging out in parks and botanic gardens, so I decided to spend the last day in Lumphini Park, one of the biggest and most popular parks in Bangkok.
After little more than an hour of walking in beautiful hot sunshine I arrived at the park. It’s great to have a place in the middle of the city where you can escape from the noise and pollution. It wasn’t really clean air, but at least all the vegetation and the lakes make you feel like it’s a healthy place.
