You missed it Jone. But I guess you were too busy tasting my Christmas

Playing mini golf in Phuket

For the second time we played mini golf in Phuket. The last time was on Patong in 1998. So who won? Nikki "The tiger" or Gard "The great white"? Check out the video to find out the scores :-)

Gratla med dagen Gyda!

Going to Phuket - the video

We went to Phuket using Thai airways and we got to ride on the top floor :-)

And since we are on honeymoon

we have decided to open a small champagne ;-)

We have arrived at our hotel in Phuket

And the bed was made up in a nice way :-)

Enjoying some wine and snack at the hotel

In Bangkok

Nikki and Gard

We are out and about in Bangkok - a bit of shopping and a bit of sightseeing. Food courts at the shopping malls is a great place to get a taste of the local cuisine. The photo of me is taken at the hotel we are staying at where one of the larger banquet rooms were fitted to room about 600 people. So we asked if it was a big wedding and the answer was "No, this is just the engagement". I wonder what that wedding will be like when the engagement featured a 8 or 10 course meal ;-)

A visit to Bangkok blood bank

I guess this is not your typical tourist activity - but today I stopped by Bangkok blood bank to donate some blood. It only took about half an hour to register and to donate 450 ml. If you want to donate you can find the Red Cross blood bank here: http://tinyurl.com/redcross-bangkok

Nikki at the SAS lounge in Copenhagen
