FINAL POST FROM OUR TRAVELS!
Sunset on Lake Malawi

More than one year. One year of calling nowhere home. And everywhere. Of movement and surprise, and wonder and bittersweet isolation. Constant displacement gave us a contradictory sense of presence, in our immediate location, in ourselves, in our human community and our mother planet.

We watched the sun set and rise on three continents. From beaches, forests, cities and mountains. From the land, sea and air. I'll leave you with this sunset, over the Lake of Stars. And I will bid you love and beauty in your onward adventures through life, wherever you go. Maybe I'll see you there.

Guess what... More sunsets
.. And sunrises, in this set. All from beaches on Thai islands.

Damn! Thailand has it all. A world-beating blend of nature and culture. From deserted, palm-fringed beaches to steamy cities, all infused with a smiling, decorative society and – dare I say it? – the tastiest food in the known universe.

Kop khun krap, Thailand!

Sunsets over seas, SE Asia

I wish I hadn't been so shy. I wish I had just run over the sand to the little boy's mum and showed her the picture I got with her son silhouetted against the falling sun in Phuket, Thailand. You never get those opportunities back.

So he shall remain anonymous, and unaware.

Same for the wee lad who walked along the sea wall in Mui Ne, Vietnam, nonchalantly teasing the sea to engulf him with every wave it threw against the concrete, yet somehow always walking away dry.
