After a long break we enjoyed again a real nice 4x4 adventure but due to limited time available, we chose to rent an adequate vehicle. Sad to leave our old travel buddy at home but at least we did not abandon the brand Toyota.

But not only the car is different, this time we had a third team member on board - our 18 month old son! Let's say it's an experiment to find out his level of enthusiasm for road trips. And for us it was the first glimpse of Africa. Who knows, perhaps this might become the next destination of a longer journey? And of course, we wanted to escape the cold winter and enjoy warm weather.

We are back in Switzerland after incredible 15 month of travelling and park our mobile home in the garage, changing it with a regular home. After sleeping the very last night on the Fischers Fritz Camping in Zurich and a warm welcome by our family and friends we parked the car in front of the sublet apartment and it felt like - we were just away for groceries shopping. Odd, the least to say about our feelings when we entered our 5 rooms flat after living in a car for so long. Why would we need so much space?

So all relevant authorities are informed we are back. Car is ready again for Swiss traffic and "normal" life resumes.

We've travelled through 29 countries from Zurich to Singapore and all the way back in 15 months. We drove 70'000 km's through deserts, tropical forests, mountains as high as you can imagine, remote and most densely populated areas, never had serious issues, never felt being threatened or asked for baksheesh (ok, we just pretended not to understand if so) and never got really sick. It felt like the perfect experience. It felt like the perfect flow. It was simply incredible.
