Travel Day 898 – Vizag to Thotlakonda and Bavikonda, INDIA Waking up at the beach was great.

Travel Day 898 – Puri, Bhubaneshwar and Visakhapatnam, INDIA Even if Puri was slowly growing on us, we still found ourselves pressed on time and with only few train options available we opted for an early start of this Active Travel Day… The only train ticket we could get out of Puri was an 8.30am […]
Travel Day 897 – Puri and Konark, INDIA Puri was definitely a great place to stay and the prospect of being able to see a close by UNESCO World Heritage Site was even better… But first we found ourselves a nice little place for breakfast with outdoor seating and really tasty food to a very […]
Travel Day 896 – Puri, Orissa, INDIA After our Overnight Travel on the train from Kolkata, it was our Arrival Day at the coast of Orissa and at the beach of Puri… Unfortunately it was quite an early arrival since our train finished its rattling journey as at 5am in the morning. There was barely […]
Travel Day 895 – Kolkata to Puri, Orissa, INDIA The departure day from Kolkata had finally arrived and after being here comfortably at home for about 5 weeks, I finally had to close my backpack again and make move… Obviously I was once more reminded of my much too heavy backpack, but luckily I had […]
Travel Day 894 – Kolkata, INDIA It was Sunday and our last full day in Kolkata, but instead of rushing around and doing many things, we decided to rather have a nice relaxed last day and do as little as possible… We actually didn’t make it out of bed and out of the hotel until […]
Travel Day 893 – Kolkata, INDIA After the quite day yesterday while trying to find a decent place to stay, today we decided to take it easy and so we had a slow start of the day… First we had some nice chai and egg-toast on the street and then we slowly made our way […]
Travel Day 892 –Kolkata, INDIA For the longest time I couldn’t quite decide what to do next and when to do it, but after the realization that we could only have a shitty room in our current hostel for the next couple of days, we finally decided to move downtown to touristic Sudder Street… So […]
Travel Day 891 – Kolkata, INDIA After arriving late in the hostel for the past couple of days, meaning after 10pm, we felt that sightseeing could probably be done more easily while staying in the center of the city and so we decided to make a move and find a new place in the backpacker […]
Travel Day 890 – Kolkata, INDIA Today we managed to get out of the house a little bit earlier and our main goal of the day was to see a bit of the colonial center of Kolkata… Well, actually when we sat down in the morning to make a to-do list for the next couple […]
Travel Day 889 – Kolkata, INDIA It was the first full Arrival Day in India for my new-found wife and we obviously tried to take it a bit easy in the beginning… After her arrival yesterday evening we only went for a short stroll around the block and to a local chai shop, but today […]
Travel Day 888 – Kolkata, INDIA Today was a transitional day. On the one hand my one month with my Tabla Guru was over, but on the other my girlfriend was arriving today which meant that I would officially have a wife in India for the next one month to come… In all my writings […]
Travel Day 887 – Kolkata, INDIA This day felt at first a little bit empty due to the fact that it was my first day in India without my teacher and without any program, but on the other hand it was the day of the Zakir Hussain concert in Kolkata… : ) Since the very first day that […]
