Some places are just so gorgeous, No words are needed.
This is the interior of the second cabin we rented on Koh Chang. Can you imagine? Waking up. Stretching out. Getting out of bed. Opening the door and walking right onto the beach towards the sea, to take a morning plunge. Awesome. Wonderful. Like a dream. Romantic. Almost tacky. Perfect.

I drew the bungalow from the beach as well:

And the view from the porch:

It's fantastic to not take any notice of the time. A luxury that we have on vacation. When I look at these journal pages, they remind me of the calm, the peace of mind.
I'd love to be able to feel that same calm back in Amsterdam. Let's start with the weekends. Forget about every 'to do list' and take the time to enjoy. The surroundings, doing nothing, drawing.
Oh and guess what? We also had
something a lot of yumminess to eat... We needed to keep my 'what we ate today' project going, right?
