Trip Monthly Update

Mar. 9 2011 – Apr. 8 2011

Summary of the fifth month of our trip

Number of countries visited: 5

Number of flights taken: 5

Number of posts added to our blog: 23!!!

Number of marital conflicts: 0. Did Marc finally acknowledge that I'm always right? :-)

Best overnight stay: Hotel Sorga in Kuta. Definitely the best hotel we stayed in, although situated in the town we liked the least... It was located away from all the noise, and had a beautiful garden with a swimming pool. And we met there a few very nice people, including our new friend JP.

Worst overnight stay: The choice is easy: our hostel in Singapore. The location was great and I had no particular complaints about the room, but the rest was DIRTY. I will spare you the details but Marc had a post on this place and if you want to know more, he is always happy to tell our saga at Kal****** River Backpackers hostel :-)

Best Call we made: Deciding to go to Hong Kong after all. Hong Kong was on our initial route but we scratched it out because it was too much for our stay in Asia. While in Bali, we decided that Egypt might be out of the question for our trip and we thought that in this case we could at least go to HK... Boy, was it worh it! Visitng HK made me regret that Eastern Asia wasn't on our itinerary. Well, maybe I shouldn't say so after the events in Japan...

Worst Call we made: Making plans to stay and relax in Kuta, Bali. The original concept was to stay there at least a week, relax, I wanted to take a surf course, too. The first evening when we saw the town and, especially, the beach, we amended our poor plan immediately. This means that we saw many more geat things than anticipated, but also that we didn't have time to relax. We need a short vacation from our holidays :-) changing places every few days is fun but can't be done forever. New plan: a relaxing week in Thailand.
