Chiang Mai
13 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
After the Pai footprint sneakily wouldn't upload without telling us you'll now get 2 for the price of one!
After having ridden the 762 curves that separate Pai and Chiang Mai for the second time weЧитать далее
Ayutthaya
14 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
We staggered out of bed after a 2 hour nap from 6-8 am and after a quick breakfast made for the historical park. Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam till the end of the 18th century, so it had lots ofЧитать далее
Bangkok
17 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
We made the quick 1.5 hour bus ride to Bangkok the next morning and after we settled into our hostel set out to explore this city.
The first stop was the infamous backpacker area of khaosan road. OrЧитать далее
Surat Thani
17 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Just wanted to show you some pictures from our night journey by train.
Also, while waiting in the station, at 6PM sharp everyone suddenly stands. Just took us a second to realize that the kingsЧитать далее
Krabi
18 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We chose to go to Krabi, a small city on the mainland, because it is a good starting point to go to different islands and we still haven't decided where we want to go exactly. The town itself hasЧитать далее
Rai Leh
19 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
After two months inland, we finally see the sea again! This beach is on the mainland but only accessible by boat since it is bordered by huge karsts. It is of course beautiful: blue-green water, whiteЧитать далее
Koh Lanta
25 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
We decided to not do island hopping but just stay in one place instead. Our choice was Koh Lanta as we hoped it wouldn't be too crowded as other islands. And it turned out to be a great choice. We areЧитать далее
Koh Phi Phi
25 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
The second trip we undertook had us going to the famous Koh Phi Phi islands with some snorkeling - Claire saw a shark! - and then stops on "The Beach", actually called Maya bay but must renown forЧитать далее
Trang

"Waiting for the seven eighteen
January is endless
Weary-eyed and forlorn
The Northern Line is the loudest..."
What band? I know, too easy...
Thailand wrap-up
29 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
- There is this thing here called "playing the Chang lottery". Apparently the alcohol content of beer isn't regulated. So you never really know what you gonna get. Watery or strong. So sometimes 4Читать далее
Bangkok
30 января 2015 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
And this is how we spent our last days in Bangkok, to conclude our southeast Asian adventure. Off to New stuff!
Sydney
1 февраля 2015 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We left Asia with a tear in one eye - because this part of the trip is over and cheap beer is no more - and a smile in the other as we now get to explore two new countries. We landed in Sydney onЧитать далее
Sydney
2 февраля 2015 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
On Monday we set out to explore the city and the famous harbour. We chose to do it this day mainly to stay offline to not get spoiled on the super bowl result. What we didn't expect though was theЧитать далее
Featherdale wildlife park
3 февраля 2015 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
For sure we couldn't leave Australia without a peek at its fascinating wildlife. And since we won't get to do any jungle treks over here it had to be a zoo to get a good look - except for an Ibis or aЧитать далее
Road to Melbourne
4 февраля 2015 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Unfortunately we had to leave Sydney already, since our flight to New Zealand is next Monday and we wanted to see at least a little bit more of this vast country. It was very nice though to haveЧитать далее
Apollo Bay
6 февраля 2015 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
With Australia being unjustly treated as a mere stopover on the way to New Zealand we had no real plan what to do in the time between Sydney and Melbourne at first. But luckily our friend Sam, aЧитать далее
Melbourne
9 февраля 2015 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Our last stop in Australia was Melbourne, voted most livable city 4 years running. At the heart of the identity of both Sydney and Melbourne is a fierce rivalry much like between Düsseldorf andЧитать далее
Australia wrap-up
9 февраля 2015 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Obviously, there won't be too much to write here, as we spent only 10 days here and it isn't vastly different from Europe. However,
- everybody is freakishly polite. Every "excuse me" because youЧитать далее
Auckland
12 февраля 2015 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Kia Ora New Zealand!
Monday night we arrived at Auckland airport and were immediately picked up by Alex and Jen, the amazing English/Kiwi couple we met in Vietnam and later again in Siem Reap, whoЧитать далее
Waitomo
12 февраля 2015 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
On Thursday we left Auckland and headed south, with the Waitomo Caves being our first stop. Here we visited the Aranui cave, known for its magnificent stalagtites and the famous glowworm cave.Читать далее
Hamilton
13 февраля 2015 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Our first night we spend in Hamilton. Having not much time here we only walked a bit around town - especially nice were the public pianos that everybody was allowed to play -, strolled along theЧитать далее
Taupo
15 февраля 2015 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
After our magnificent lunch in Hamilton, we got on the bus to Taupo. A volcanic hot spot (not in the technical sense dear geographers) in the center of the northern island. It welcomed us with aЧитать далее
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
16 февраля 2015 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Wow, New Zealand you ridiculously good looking country!
While carnival in Röttgen was at its absolute height (D'r Zoch beim Born vor der Tür) we got up at 4.45 local time to catch our bus to theЧитать далее
Rotorua
19 февраля 2015 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
OK, this town is officially crazy. Fascinatingly so! You just walk down the street and a part of the sidewalk is closed off. And when you get closer you hear and see why, as water is audibly boilingЧитать далее
Hobbiton
19 февраля 2015 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
FANBOY POST!!! (Claire had nothing to do with this nonsense!)
On Thursday I had the honor to visit the Hobbiton movie sets where most of the outside action in Lord of the Rings and the HobbitЧитать далее
