Travel Day 1150 – Mandalay to Katha, MYANMAR Initially the intent was to go all the way up north to Myitkyina and then take a slow boat back to Mandalay, but there seemed to be a few problems with that idea… First of all to reach Myitkyina there were only two options, catching an expensive […]
Travel Day 1139 – Bangkok to Yangon, MYANMAR Since all my preparations in Bangkok had worked out in the end, I finally found myself on the way towards this somewhat mysterious and unknown country called Myanmar… But first, getting to the airport was not as smooth and easy as it had been when I was […]
Travel Day 1109 – Bangkok to Colombo, SRI LANKA After arriving back in Bangkok yesterday evening, today I could really only do some errands, pack my backpack and get ready for Colombo and Sri Lanka… Actually since I had arrived in Bangkok with my huge backpack including my Tabla and since I knew that I […]
Travel Day 1055 – Pokhara to Kathmandu, NEPAL It was finally an Active Travel Day again and after spending almost a month in the Pokhara area, I was on the move back to Kathmandu… As I had noticed on my bus ride to Pokhara before, it was off-season and most of the tourist buses were […]
Travel Day 992 – Delhi to Kathmandu, NEPAL After spending 4 ½ months in India, I was finally flying to Nepal and I was especially happy about that after the intense heat of the past weeks. But how happy I really was, I only came to realize when the plane landed in Kathmandu… While I […]
Travel Day 979 – Sivananda to Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, INDIA One last time we had the usual 5.20am wake up call, but instead of going to the Satsang, we were walking to the bus station… Actually things were not quite as easy as we thought they would be. After almost being kicked out of the […]
Travel Day 957 – Amritapuri to Varkala, Kerala, INDIA Today was finally an Active Travel Day again and after more than three weeks in the ashram, I was quite excited to be moving again… Since I was by now used to getting up early, I checked out of the ashram at 6am and tried to […]
Travel Day 911 – Tanjavur to Madurai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was an Active Travel Day again, but this time we had to continue our journey by bus instead of the train… This wasn’t the biggest of all deals, but it was definitely always more comfortable to travel in the train than by bus. In […]
Travel Day 909 – Pondicherry to Tanjavur, INDIA It was an Active Travel Day again and luckily we took the train further south instead of the bus, as I was not feeling too well today… Actually after questioning everything that Auroville was supposed to stand for and not being quite sure about what to make out […]
Travel Day 900 – Visakhapatnam to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Today was technically an Active Travel Day, but since our train didn’t leave until the afternoon, we decided to make it a short Travel Daycation as well… All local people we had seen in Vizag and Puri so far seemed to jump into the ocean […]
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 861 –Bangkok to Kolkata, INDIA It was a pretty Active Travel Day today as I was going to Bangkok, Thailand and then to Kolkata, India… I was scheduled to leave Manila at 11pm yesterday, arrive in Bangkok at 1.30am, then sleep on a bench until maybe 8am, check back in and leave at […]
Travel Day 853 and 854 – Waikiki to Guam to Manila, PHILIPPINES It was an Active Travel Day again and I was facing a 13 hour flight over to the Philippines, but luckily with a stopover in Guam… Guam is one of those places that you always hear about, but never actually go to because […]
