For the virtual challenge I finished the “Valley of the Kings” (Egypt), “Wales Coastal Path”, “Elvis in Memphis”, the 3 km for the “Pacer 2026 medal”, the “Dinosaur Trail” (USA) and the “Mother’s Day 2026” challenge, the last one by cycling 56 km. I’ve started the first one of the 3 Viking challenges “Viking Invasions”, “Elvis on Tour” and “Atlantis”. I’m still busy with the “Appalachian Trail” (USA) and of course the year challenge “Conqueror 2026”.

Sakon, Dutch Taxes, Udon Thani and more…
On 3 February I had to go again to Immigration at Sakon Nakhon because a missing thing in my passport and within 1 minute I was standing outside again. So, after that I did some shopping at the Robinson shopping mall (cherries & small tomato’s) and got a few things for lunch. The way back was a special D-tour for 2 Geocaches, the first nearby Phanna Nikhon and the second one north-east of Wanon Niwat.
The last 2 months of 2025 we were busy to get and send the papers for not paying Dutch Taxes over my private pensions. In January 1 private pension was less because of paying taxes but the other one was not taxed. Now in February I’ve got papers from the Dutch government that I don’t have to taxes for both private pensions. And yes, I received my private pension without paying taxes and the first one paid the January taxes back.
On Friday 20 January there was a power outage for a few hours and because we knew it before I went in the morning to Udon Thani for some shopping. My first stop was at a liquor shop where I bought a both of Amaretto, after that I was for the second time with a Geocache at a park in Udon. Next stop was the Central Plaza shopping mall where I bought a few things and lunch was with McD. Because still no electricity at home I went to Nong Khai for another Geocache but couldn’t find that one, so back home.
