Preparing the ship
16 novembre 2016, Italie ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
The "Encore" is an entirelly new ship, which is still in the make. Some parts are finished, some not. So the Crew currently spents most of the time with loading stuff.
At the moment the ship is in a dry dock.. Amazing scenery - especially since there are other ships are being built next to us!En savoir plus

Being close to venice, it started to get necessary to visit venice. So we did - tonight.. Maybe a relatively good time of the year - Momentarely are not too many tourists.
And yes, it is a really pretty town!En savoir plus

Don't call a doctor..
21 novembre 2016, Italie ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Since I had to approach on the ship within 5 days, I couldn't find time to do my necessary, medical exam for the ship between working in Salzburg and preparing other stuff for being abroad for 4 months. So Seabourn arranged the medical exam for us in Genova - with a driver and a night in a relatively nice hotel - the "Star president".
Unfortunately we had not much time to see Genova, but we did not bother because it was pooring rain!En savoir plus

Haifa, Israel
7 décembre 2016, Israël ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Israel! - The holy country.. Didn't feel such, but - who cares. It was interesting to be there anyway!

I had a very nice "kind of a gyros" for lunch.. Afterwards, trolling around town I got a similar feeling like in Southafrica - somehow insecure, but very alive!En savoir plus

Warm welcome in Jordan
11 décembre 2016, Jordan ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Entirelly different - and really nice! When was the last time a stranger welcomed you to his country on the street?
That happened to me twice, within 2 hours!

Another interesting an great thing is the coffee: Brewed in a small pot in the middle of a bowl with hot sand - and very tasty!En savoir plus

Oman
18 décembre 2016, Oman ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
The first time in an arabic country.. Very different, but very enjoyable!
This people pay a lot of attention to their culture, which is a good thing. Well - akward was that these folks have as many tailors for female clothing than we have hairsaloons in Europe!

By the way.. The local market is georgeous - and huge! Got almost lost.. But I'm done with most christmas presents! :-)En savoir plus

India II
31 décembre 2016, Inde ⋅ 🌙 23 °C
Finally, we've made it.. Well it still was a challenge to convince the tuk tuk driver that we don't want to see everything. But finally we arrived in fort Kochi which was amazing. Not - basically it was a relatively nice place and a bit smelly - I wouldn't choose it for a vacation at least!

But it was interesting to see that the fisherman lift huge wooden constructions into the water to catch some fish..En savoir plus

Birgit Schuster-FuchsHi Richi! Wir verfolgen mit großer Freude und Interesse Ihre tolle Reise und freuen uns auf die weiteren Kurzberichte inkl. Fotos. An Kerala haben wir die besten Erinnerungen inkl. schöner Fotos. Wir sind mit einem Hausboot durch die Wasserstraßen gefahren. Das Fischefangen und Kochen mit der 3-Mann-Crew hatte uns großen Spaß gemacht. Liebe Grüße von den Schusterfüchsen

Malaysia!
4 janvier 2017, Malaisie ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Apparently Emergency drills are our main concern in ports..
Means, instead of exploring the World, I spent another 3 hours on the ship instead of being in Malaysia.

Dear unknown friend, if you consider to work on a cruise ship - no, you wont see the Planet, but you'll have enough time for some selfies outside the ship..
Even tough, I managed to eat some malaysian food and get a short feeling for Malaysia - much nicer, more enjoyable than India.

Akward - Islandhopping is a big business - I've never seen so many small boats with 200 HP engines before! #theBeautyofMotoringEn savoir plus

The middle of the contract! Another 70 days to go!
The first glimpse of Indonesia? Omg, these people are really poor. Despite this, humans tend to be very friendly, and creative! When did u see a sewing machine mounted on a Motor - trycycle? Or a grocery store? Or somebody cleaning the street with a broom?En savoir plus

Fishingboats in Benoa - loads of them. Not all of them look trustful.. Still - its interesting to see them, since it is a very uncommon way to earn money for central europeans.

Lembar Lombok

Well..
Sometimes you gain experiences which you don't want. Let me explain:
After I managed to get rid of a couple of taxidrivers who desperately tried to convince me to use their cab to see the island.. I realized by while walking, that I don't want to see their island. This was by far the dirtiest place I've seen in my life. Garbage disposal - never heard of, not available..

So the garbage is next to the street, next to the houses - literally everywhere!En savoir plus

Darwin, Australien

If you want to explore - take the hop on/off Bus, otherwise you wont see much of interest.
But there is a nice lagoon to swim, also a wavepool!

It is interesting how many, very serious offroad cars are around - equipped with winches, offroadtires, sparetires, shovels, auxiliary headlamps, etc...En savoir plus

Sydney, Australien
2 février 2017, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
The reason, why I haven't posted anything in the last week is - the connectors of my phone start to dissolve.. But since I own this phone since more than 4 years know - its entirelly ok, especially since I figured out, how to load the phone anyway... ;-) A slightly russian style - but it works!
By the way.. In Sydney I tried to buy a new phone, but for some reasons my bankcard didn't work in any of the countries I've visited so far.. (Maybe you should not consider an Account at the "Sparkasse")
However, I did not even find a shop for phones - but I saw the botanical garden - what a nice place in this huge town!En savoir plus

Lucky man!!! I've had quite some time off, so I went to town, to realize that I don't like towns. So I went back - to the beach and had a great time there! Melbourne is a huge town, but really relaxed compared to Sydney..En savoir plus
