Translation of consolidation in German

Anyway, we knew that we would return there too eat many more soups on our trip. When we left the place there suddenly started intense rain and we had to run for cover in order not get wet.
In the end we decided to try something new, and although we are not great "fans" of South East Asia, we agreed on going to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and if there would be enough time Hong Kong.
