So I hope these pictures from paradise convince you there were good reasons to stay off the radar for a bit, while hot beaches and tropical rainforest provided a welcome contrast to the – never dissapointing, though – cold roughness of the mountains.

We have been frantically setting up some new projects and consolidating some fascinating new plans, which we will share with you soon!
