Koh Samui , Thailand

We just spent one week in Koh Samui. Lili had to stay at home, but her dear friends, Momo & Uri, took care of her. Please see their Blog: http://yaplog.jp/momomania/
Thanks so much again!!
Also to Bea and Run , who picked Lili up all the way from Okayama: http://blog.livedoor.jp/bearun/


But now back to Koh Samui. As you see in these pics there are many many stray dogs.
Luckily for them a small dog and cat rescue center exists!
But unluckily for many, they can't help all of Koh Samui's stray dogs and cats.
If you want and if you have a chance please help!! Like I am helping!!

Wakasa

We started walking along a cute forest path and walked and walked for almost an hour until we reached the top. There we discovered some ruins from an old castle and a breathtaking view.


Finally on the way home! I stuck my head out of the window and enjoyed the fresh air and the beautiful scenery.

Wakasa, Tottori

Yesterday we drove to Hyonosen in Tottori again to help our friend move back to Ashiya after 3 months. On the way we found a nice spot along a river for a short break. It reminded us on Okayama last week...

In Wakasa, all the snow was gone and since we all were pretty tired we decided not to drive up to Hyonosen into the wet, cold snow but rather take a walk in the forest. I was sooo happy, since I am really getting tired being wet and cold....:-)
