Travel Day 845 – Waikiki, Honolulu, Oahu, HAWAII Dear Mr. Obama, Thank you very much for having me on your island. It really is the perfect place for a little Travel Daycation, for relaxation and for recharging the batteries… It is not hard to see why you choose this island as your birth place and […]
Travel Day 814 – Detmold to Zurich, SWITZERLAND As I had heard that Switzerland was supposed to be the best country in the world, I felt compelled to at least go on a little Side Trip and have a look while I was in the area, even if I only had time for a short […]
Travel Day 812 – Belem, Lisbon, PORTUGAL Since this was not only our fist but also our only full day in Lisbon and since we still wanted to see everything in town, we needed to get ourselves a bit organized… First off we took a stroll down from Praca Dom Pedro to the nice old Praca do Comercio at […]
Travel Day 811 – Evora to Losbon, PORTUGAL The guest house we stayed at in Evora looked like an old mansion and when we woke up, we were greeted by the sun floating through the window and filling our room with a nice warm light… It was quite obvious that Evora was the perfect kind […]
Travel Day 809 – Granada to Seville, SPAIN Although Granada was absolutely a great place to stay for a while, unfortunately we were a little short on time and so the best idea seemed to be continuing towards Seville by bus… On a first glance Seville seemed to be a much bigger place than Granada with […]
Travel Day 808 – Barcelona to Granada, SPAIN After a really great day of walking through the historic parts of Barcelona yesterday, we hopped in the evening on the overnight train, slept away the distance to Andalusia and woke up in Granada… Initially we wanted to continue our little side trip towards Madrid, but then […]
Travel Day 806 – Barcelona, SPAIN It was our first full Arrival Day in Barcelona and we already completely acclimatized to the nice spring weather. The only headache we had after breakfast was due to a little mission impossible… The first and very important task we had on our agenda was to find a bookstore […]
Travel Day 805 – Detmold to Barcelona, SPAIN After one month in Germany, it was about time to escape the greyness for a while and do a little side trip. For obvious reasons the south, like Mediterranean Spain and Portugal seemed the perfect destinations… Initially we had the idea to travel by train all the […]
Travel Day 801 – Detmold, GERMANY After more than two years of travelling it was a bit strange to be at home with parents, but on the other hand my mind didn’t really register what was going on anyway and so I felt like I was still travelling for many days to come… While I […]
Travel Day 800 – Arambol to Detmold, GERMANY It almost seemed a bit like a joke, but I ended my two years of travelling exactly on day 800. Only instead of Jules Verne’s 80 days, I managed to travel Around the World in 800 Days… : ) Anyway, my day started really early with 2am […]
Travel Day 012 – Quito, ECUADOR After a good night of sleep and some nice breakfast on the great roof terrace overlooking Quito, it was about time to explore the Old Town… My hostel had a little travel agency included in the same building, run by former travelers and they offered a free 3 hour […]
Travel Day 011 – Lima to Quito, ECUADOR It was an Active Travel Day again and I was leaving Peru already behind and heading for Quito in Ecuador… When I booked my Round the World Ticket, I chose Lima as the main hub to fly in and out of, because most connections went through Lima […]
Travel Day 009 – Barranco and Miraflores, PERU Even if I arrived already yesterday evening, today was my first full Arrival Day in Barraco, in Peru and in South America… After a good night of sleep and some nice breakfast in the hostel, the world looked very different again. Also the fact that I got to […]
