Travel Day 999 – Kathmandu, NEPAL It was Sunday, it was the last day of my friend in town and after the eventful concert yesterday, we decided to take it easy and have a stroll up to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Swayambunath, the MonkeyTemple… Swayambhunath was apparently one of the two places in […]
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 910 – Thanjavur (Tanjore), Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was our only full day in Thanjavur (Tanjore) and we had two main items on the agenda, on the one hand we wanted to visit the Royal Palace and on the other the Brihadishwara Temple… Since the Royal Palace was supposed to be open continuously, we […]
Travel Day 903 – Chennai to Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, INDIA After spending more time in Chennai then really necessary, this morning was definitely time to move on to better things… We actually had to move on quite early since check out turned out to be at 6am, which had been our arrival time two days […]

Travel Day 810 – Seville to Evora, PORTUGAL Once again we would have liked to spend more time in Seville, but meanwhile we had to move on, only how best to get to Portugal was the big question of the day.. For some reason it had been impossible to find reliable information about bus connections between […]
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.

Travel Day 004 – Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO After the great day in Old San Juan yesterday, I just had to come back again in the morning and see more of this amazing UNESCO World Heritage Site… Actually, as I found out online, the entire old town with its surrounding walls, its bastions, its powder […]
Travel Day 003 – Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO If the beaches had initially lured me into coming to Puerto Rico, colonial Old San Juan turned out to be a historic gem that was well worth a trip on its own… My day started off quite relaxed as I had decided to spend all morning at […]
