Back…
While the vibes of South America are still rushing through our vains, we have in the meantime arrived back home in Tokyo. Now acclamatizing to the muggy heat and trying to shed the jetlag. Things are not always easy in Japan with it’s cultural “rules” and inability to be flexible, but I’ve got to say: Customer Service in this country is the BEST. What a blessing to arrive at Narita Airport and be helped to the max by friendly employees, who rushed after us to help with our cart loaded with many heavy luggage, while their colleague calmly and smilingly gave us our tickets for the limousine bus. Such bliss to be treated this way - we’ve missed that the past three months.
It’s a double feeling having returned: tired of hopping on and off from airplanes and buses, we are happy to be home and not having to live out of a suitcase/backpack anymore. Not particularly looking forward to getting back to the grind though. But it’s gotta be done because duty and responsibilities call. And that’s OK. We’ve got a fantastic experience in our pocket that will spark our batteries.
Good news for you with regards to our life’s adventures: these are never ending, and we will continue to update this blog with the highlights, so you know what’s ‘que pasa’ with us. Plus we’ve still got loads of trip pictures to sort and upload, and the rest of our honeymoon travel stories to tell. The last tail of the journey took us to Macchu Picchu, lake Titicaca, Bolivia, and Cuba, plus a quick stopover in New York on the way back to Tokyo. You’ll see (backdated) blog posts appear as we get to finalizing them. Keep on checking in!
Below the latest pic of us taken during our stopover in New York, on July 1st. Slightly tired but oh so very satisfied, and nicely tanned (especially M really rocks in the sun!)

Welcome back to Tokyo. I have enjoyed reading your adventurous honeymooon. Though I have never visited South America, I could imagine its scenery and wonderful pepole and your communication with local. Please take care and have a good rest. Hope to see you again!

Brechtje&Manuel;,
Estamos muy contentos de que esten de vuelta en casa sanos y salvos. Oliverio y yo tambien porque ahora podemos escribir en espanol con la seguridad de que Brechtje esta entendiendo perfectamente. Esa tarjeta que recibimos en Espanol, nos lleno de mucha alegria. Pues Brechtje escribe mejor que nosotros. Tambien queremos agradecer por esa narracion tan completa que han hecho de sus experiencias en Sur America. En una forma inesplicable nos han transladado alli y es casi como haber estado junto con ustedes.
Dios Los vendiga los llevamos siempre en nuestros corazones. -
Fijn dat jullie je draai weer vinden! Nu gaat alles anders worden! Nog meer! Veel plezier met het uitzoeken van de mooiste foto’s en de bijbehorende verhaaltjes.
Ik wacht met spanning af !
Liefs,
mama
