Orn's Travel Blog

On Monday there are eight weeks since we left Iceland.  Well actually there will at be 563 days or 1 year, 6 months and 14 days since we moved from Iceland to Switzerland but we have been for two months on this particular trip :)

So what is the difference between traveling and staying at home? What have we been missing on during those two months?  Here are ten things that come to mind:

• I haven’t cleaned anything – neither dishes nor my room nor done laundry (except my underwear)
• I haven’t stayed in one bed for longer than five nights
• I haven’t watched TV for longer than a minute
• I haven’t worn any shoes except flip-flops
• I haven’t spoken on the phone
• I haven’t listened to the radio
• I haven’t cooked …anything
• I haven’t opened any bills
• I haven’t used hair gel
• I haven’t driven a car

So what have we been doing if not the above things?  What things couldn’t we do at home?

• We have eaten a frog
• We have slept on the beach
• We have ridden an elephant
• We have travelled on a motorcycle
• We have gotten tailor made clothes
• We have swum with a flock of squids (and in three different oceans)
• We have seen silkworms turned into cloth
• We have encountered Black Cobras in the forest
• We have visited some of the most impressive temples in the world
• We have seen some of the saddest manifestations of human cruelty
