A photo of an erupting volcano with bright orange lava spewing hundreds of feet into the air from a black spatter cone, accompanied by thick white puffs of gas. The lava flows down a narrow slope at the front of the cone, creating a snaking, glowing river of lava against the dark fresh-basalt landscape under a cloudy sky.

You have a fun week ahead. 🫣

Oh. Now I get it. ✌️😆

Your birthday, or really a Mario day? 😅

Thanks. I wish I knew exactly what’s going on. Now, I might need a colonoscopy and an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy. Especially the second, I had to Google. But well, if the meds work, I’ll make it after Easter days. Just as a “security” check.

Welcome to the team, Toni!

Thank you, Jay! None of this would exist without you.

Welcome Tony! Wishing you all the best!

And on the positive side, I am sitting still on the sofa where I sat down 4 hours ago, after I returned from the hospital. And I was working the whole time. It feels good to be able to work a bit. And on another positive note, I am suddenly very hungry. First time in a week 🙏

So, I am now using @aeronautapp.com for Bluesky.

This app is somehow really special. Love the design. Now I just hope that still someone is here on @bsky.app after my holidays.

Danke Dir!

Danke 🙏

Some people say that there is always a positive side of everything. In that case as well, probably. I’ve lost almost 3 kgs in one week.

And today I’m back in another wing of the hospital, waiting for the specialist.

On the last day of our boat trip, we passed by the WW2 sunken Japanese Lusong Gunboat - not far from Coron in the Philippines. 🇵🇭

And thankfully, our guide Sam dived with my camera. Have you ever seen so many fish? 🌴🥰

When I got a fever last Monday, I thought it was a cold. Then this extreme burning in my stomach started. Thanks to meds, that burning are is more or less under control.

But hey, I seldom had so little power like in these last days. I’m happy to be at home and able to sleep.

Panagbenga Festival (Baguio Flower Festival) in Baguio, Luzon, Philippines, on the last weekend. I stood up at 5:15 to see the parade. 😅 I was happy to be in the North for the first time.

The last night of the Tao expedition, we stayed at my favorite place: Camp Ngey Ngey. What a stunning island. Wow. In the photos, you can see some drone shots and also the view of the sunset. When I woke up the next morning, I had the best sea view. 😍

Back to my favorite thing I did in the Philippines: the third night we had a karaoke night in the jungle. The place looks awesome from the air. At the Bukal Camp, we were not allowed to swim due to a local, dangerous jellyfish 🪼

Nice. At least you have a private nurse. I’m wishing you good and speedy recovery!

Still in the Philippines, but now my body wants to take a rest. 😶‍🌫️🥵 Well, good that I’m back to work from my hotel room. I think that’s the best choice now.

Now I’m on the same level. Somewhere in the Philippines, trying to eat, drink water but at the end ending up sleeping most of the day.

Also, I was tired, but ignored it: «just two more days exploring» …

That’s the right place then for you. ❤️‍🩹

Stay safe!

No, I don’t think. But Dubai / UAE

I’ve got this news now.

Got the news of a friend that Burj Khalifa is evacuated, due to imminent threat / the anti missile system shot down some missiles.

And Qatar, seems. And, Burj Khalifa evacuated.

To be fair: if the news are true that Iran shot missiles towards Qatar and Dubai, well… then they are the good ones.

Oh, just saw the news right now. Iran shot missiles also at Dubai and Qatar?! Are they insane and want to give up their country directly? 🤔

Or again fake news?

Ok, that was fast.
