Romantic moments – Part 2

A few more special marital moments from 4+ months on the road:

The green green grass of home

I felt a touch of homesickness today for the first time on this trip. Not bad going, I thought, since we’ve now been away for 3 months.

One of those days

Today has been one of those days. A day when just going outside is an exercise in extreme annoyance.

Sometimes it’s nice to miss each other

We’re in Koh Samui now. Today Bernd went on a day trip around the island. I went for a swim, had a massage, did some shopping, had lunch.

Anniversary dinner

Tonight we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. 5 whole years since we married on the London Eye as witnessed by 13 distinguished guests.

Romantic moments

Romantic moments on a backpacking holiday:

Cool as a cucumber

Something I didn’t predict for this trip is the way Bernd and I have clashed over air conditioning. At home in London we don’t have it, because we don’t need it. For 1 or 2 weeks a year it would be great to have, but that doesn’t justify the expense so we make do with a fan.

The pre-trip talk

Me: I think we should have a talk, before we leave, about traits and tendencies we’ve observed in the other person that could potentially cause problems during the trip, so that we can…
Bernd: You can be bossy.
