  1. Today I left at about 10Am to try out my new ride. I decided to do the "Samoeng Loop", which is basically a circle through mountains and forest that starts and ends in Chiang Mai. This is the scooter I got: I dont know much about scooters, I own a Triumph Sprint RS 955i, 20 years old, which I really love, but I have to say this 300cc Sports Scooter did surprise me. The engine is great and also the suspensions is really good. And for an old guy like me its also very comfy and has enough storage room. Really a nice ride! Here short impressions about the ride: The tour is about 100 km long, it took me about 4 hours with many stops and chit chat along the way. The ride is easy a few sharp corners but nothing too hairy. There is very little traffic once you are out of Chiang Mai and along the way there is quite some stuff to see. A few more images: And the map: OK people I hope you enjoyed the ride, I got too much sun today, my head is in pain, gotta hit the sack. Take care D.

  27. Today at 9:30 I took the Train to Zürich Airport. The Swiss Rail Company SBB is really good, in terms or reliability it comes second only to Japan, but Tickets are really expensive. The oneway frist class ticket cost me 45 Euro (1 hour ride). But as you can see the place is comfortable, even the toilets are large. first class seats, comfy and train almost empty spotless and large toilet Checkin and security procedures at Zürich Airport where easy and quick. They double checked my hand luggage because I had about a million batteries with me. But the guys where friendly and I finally made my way to the SWISS Business Lounge. Terminal 1 - Roof So finally I made my way to the plane and we took off. Thai Airways Champagne (pretty bad to be honest, but the flower is nice...) Swiss alps, I just love this country Ok thats it for now, the next blog entry will be from Chiang Mai. Take Care D.
