I am back to Hungary for a week now after my yoga retreat in Thailand. We had such a great time. On the island of Yao Noi there is a yoga place offering 4 hours yoga per day. Each day we started at 7.30 am for 2 hours and we met up againat 4.30 pm for another 2 hours of yoga. The rest of the day was for fun: kayaking, sunbathing or exploring the island and nearby islands.

The team of Island Yoga is very professional; I never had such a great yoga as the practices with David, Sarah or Akiko.
For the evening we usually went to the same place, a beautiful Thai restaurant (je t’aime koh yao noi) with a French owner. The massaman curry with vegetables and the mango shake with coconut ice-cream is the best!

On the way back from Thailand I had a few hours in Berlin so instead of waiting
at the airport I decided to have a quick look at the city as I never visited it before.

Leaving the city center and on the way back to the airport I stopped by to see
the Berlin Wall.
As I am from Eastern Europe the image on the top (the kiss of Brezhnev and
Honecker) is something I saw a lot in Hungary. The image became the symbol
of the cold war. (Artwork by Dimitri Vrubel)
Bicycles are everywhere in the city - a lot of people use then instead of a car or
public transport. Wise decision.
