    • Day 7

      Auf dem Weg nach Siquijor

      March 13, 2020, Philippine Sea ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Regelmäßige TÜV Überprüfungen gibt es hier mit Sicherheit nicht😂 weder für das Motorrad, das Trycykle, den Bus oder die Fähre aber dafür super viel Freundlichkeit
      & Hilfsbereitschaft die uns sicher ans Ziel begleitet hat! ☺️ Rost ist ja auch voll modern 😁Read more

      Vol Jeju - Singapour

      November 5, 2022, Philippine Sea ⋅ 🌧 24 °C

      Pour une fois, tout est smooth pour faire enregistrer nos vélos. On trouve des cartons facilement, et le personnel ne pèse pas nos paquetages énormes. Dans l’avion, nous sommes aux premières loges pour admirer Jeju vu de haut, et en particulier le volcan Hallasan et son cratère culminant à 1970m que nous avons gravi 10 jours plus tôt.

      Arrivant au large de la Malaisie et de Singapour, nous slalomons entre d’immenses cumulonimbus. On se sent tout petits.

      Arrivés à Singapour, nous assemblons les vélos, et pédalons 30km de nuit et dans une moiteur étouffante pour rejoindre le centre de la cité-État où réside Liam, notre hôte pour la nuit…

    • Day 59

      Mt. Fuji & Omaezaki

      March 1, Philippine Sea ⋅ 🌬 54 °F

      Violent wind shook the ship all night. Hearts sink as the captain confirms this morning we are not going to pull into port as planned. The forecast calls for worsening conditions which means we could be trapped and miss Kobe tomorrow. Instead, we explore the protection of Suruga Bay which offers a spectacular view of Mt. Fuji just 35 miles away. As we swing around and exit the shelter, building seas and wind rising to 45-50 knots slaps us around. Gusts are strong enough to rip chunks of paint off the ship. We’re sorry to miss Omaezaki, but agree it’s not worth the risk.Read more

    • Day 11

      Kobe

      April 14, Philippine Sea ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Kobe ha sido nuestro último puerto en Japón. Hemos tenido la suerte de conocer al cofundador y director del Peace Boat, Tatsuya Yoshioka, con el que compartimos un café mientras nos contó cómo se fundó Peace Boat y los proyectos más destacados en el 117th voyage.

      Peace Boat, se fundó por un grupo de estudiantes universitarios japoneses con el objetivo de promover la paz y crear diálogos entre diferentes comunidades y países.

      ¿Por qué viajamos en barco? Ayer el fundador nos explicó que la experiencia de viajar en barco es muy diferente a la de viajar en avión. En un barco se crea una comunidad que interactúa y trabaja en equipo cada día. Al mismo tiempo permite invitar a participantes y congresistas en los diferentes puertos.

      ¿Cuáles son los proyectos más destacados durante el 117th Voyage? Durante este viaje nos acompañan siete jovenes ucranianas que han sufrido en primera persona las consecuencias de la actual guerra. Y por otro lado, viajan con nosotros dos supervivientes de los ataques nucleares en Japón en Hiroshima y Nagasaki. Uno de los proyectos principales del Peace Boat durante este voyage es alegar contra las armas nucleares. Ambos grupos ofrecerán diferentes congresos, charlas y mesas redondas con el objetivo de concienciar y crear diálogos.

      Próximo destino China…

    • Day 156

      Kobe, Japan. Day 2

      June 18, 2023, Philippine Sea ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

      The plan for today was to visit Kobe Nunoboki Herb Gardens. Th get there we had to get to the Ropeway and then go up in the mountain.
      To get there, we walked to the metro station from which we can reach Gardens. Last 4 minutes of walk to the station was a steep climb up. Instead, we took a taxi that brought us right to the Ropeway entrance.
      When we reached the top, we were surrounded by herbs and flowers. It is impossible to describe the beauty of the place. After exploring the top, we slowly started going down. Every step you take, there are different flowers. There are also waterfalls, benches and hammocks to rest. The park is endless. After reaching lower Ropeway station, we went all the way down.
      Returning to the city, we stopped in Chinatown, but it was so busy, we decided to walk toward the ship.
      On our way we saw an inviting restaurant and stopped there for lunch. It happened to be International Culinary School of Kobe, Japan. All cooks are student. Very good cheap meals.
      We got a beautiful good-buy from local kids playing drums during our departure from Kobe.

      Farewell

      March 22, Philippine Sea ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

      Nun heißt es auch für mich "Farewell". Das letzte Mal wurde fleißig beim Crew-Chor alles beim Trellern der Seemannslieder gegeben.
      Zuvor haben wir uns nochmal bei der Seekartenverlosung zum Horst gemacht. Was hatten wir einen Spaß!!! 😄Read more

      Kobe, Japan. Day 1

      June 17, 2023, Philippine Sea ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

      Our first plan was to go to Osaka for a day, but before we got on the train, we changed the plan. We decided to stay in Kobe. We have been in Osaka before, but missed Kobe last time. Plus, we decided to take it easy.
      Short walk away was Itaku Srine. Mostly young people pray at this temple. We were told it is secret place for love.
      After that we went to China town. It is one of the biggest China towns in Japan.
      We also walked thru covered street that is just a big marketplace. We came back on the ship to rest and then met with Younga and David and went back to Chinatown to eat Kobe beef at the restaurant we made reservation before.
      We got a private room, excellent dinner, the beef was melting in your mouth.
      After dinner, we walked thru Chinatown and had more street food.
      20 thousands steps today.

      Lazy day at sea, Linda and Mike attended talk by the captain, Andrew and Karen kept with tradition and enjoyed the 3 course lunch with wine. Enjoyable final dinner, ever smiling waiter Garry and our Serbian sommelierJulian, who clearly had a glint in her steely Eastern European eye for Mike…..!

    • Day 7–8

      Mit der Fähre von Tokyo nach Tokushima

      October 2, 2023, Philippine Sea ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

      Mit dem Schiff ging es über Nacht von Tokyo nach Tokushima (Shikoku).

      Fähre Fahren war ein echt spannendes Erlebnis. Highlights:
      - Das Bad: bei 40° Wassertemperatur aufs Meer blicken und den Wellengang im Becken nachfühlen können 🌊
      - Die Lösung für das an Board nicht vorhandene Restaurant: einfach jede Menge Automaten mit einer großen Auswahl an Tiefkühlessen und passend vorprogrammierte Mikrowellen aufstellen (für mein Gemüsecurry, die Nummer 3 von Automat E, muss einfach bei Mikrowelle E das Programm 3 ausgewählt werden und fertig 😃)
