Bangkok, Tuesday 7 p.m. local time
The majority of the Rescue teams has arrived in the Thai capital. Several specialists have remained in Padang to assist in supporting the reconstruction. It was good to see the Swiss-machine and its familiar crew again – they waited for us here in Bangkok. The last two days were very hectic for management; the rescuers and dog handlers were often ‘dammed’ to wait.
Everyone is taking it all very casually and is making the most of the time to recover and exchange opinions with their team members as many will only meet again on the next deployment. Here in Bangkok we have time to have a shower (the first time since being on deployment apart from lick and spit washes). The fact that in the end we were not able to save any lives was at first depressing. Nonetheless we can all be proud to have been in Padang. Tomorrow Wednesday at 8.00 hours we will again be in Zurich.
