Travel Day 658 – Driving on Bali by Scooter, INDONESIA 03/09 Balian Beach via Pura Luhur Batukaru to Munduk Since spending the day at Balian Beach was not really the plan, it seemed best to rather get up early and enjoy the beach in the morning sun… It was actually quite amazing but a couple of […]
Travel Day 657 – Driving on Bali by Scooter, INDONESIA 02/09 Kuta via Pura Tanah Lot Rock Temple to Balian Beach The day had finally come to pack up all belongings, dump everything in storage and jump on the scooter to cruise around Bali for a while… Well, it still took all morning to get the […]
Travel Day 656 – Driving on Bali by Scooter, INDONESIA 01/09 Kuta via Balangan Beach to Pura Luhur Uluwatu Since the Kuta area was obviously not representing the whole of Bali, it was about time to test out a scooter and drive down to the southern area called Bukit Peninsula… After breakfast I rented a scooter from my […]
Travel Day 655 – Kuta, Legian and Seminyak on Bali, INDONESIA This day started quite cloudy, so instead of hanging out at the pool, I spent all morning reading the guide-book and planning my trip through Indonesia… As it appeared, in order to really explore Bali besides its tourist centers, some sort of transportation was […]
Travel Day 654 – Kuta on Bali, INDONESIA It was my first full day in Indonesia and on Bali, so the question that arose after the inclusive breakfast was how to make best use of the time here… Since this seemed to be a little bit of a slow day and since I was paying […]
Travel Day 653 – Bangkok to Kuta on Bali, INDONESIA My time in Thailand with less than 48 hours had definitely been much too short, but in the meanwhile I was already off to Indonesia… While the weather was getting worse in Southeast Asia, Indonesia made the perfect destination as it was situated just below […]
Travel Day 652 – Bangkok, THAILAND This only full day in Bangkok was quite a busy one, especially because everything hat to get done that I couldn’t get done easily in Nepal… So after some nice breakfast in the hostel, it was time to do some packing and organizing as some items needed to be […]
Travel Day 651 – Kathmandu to Bangkok, THAILAND The day started pretty early with hailing a cab, waving a last good-bye to Thamel and Kathmandu, plus catching a flight to Bangkok… While the flight was technically nice, it was unfortunately delayed and by the time we finally arrived and received the luggage, I realized that […]
Travel Day 1165 – Yangon to Bangkok, THAILAND Sometimes it was really amazing to see how quickly time could pass by and in this case my allotted days in Myanmar simply felt not quite enough… This was interesting because initially when landing in Yangon I had no real clue about what Myanmar had to offer […]
Travel Day 1164 – Kalaw to Yangon, MYANMAR The 28 day time clock on my visa was running out quickly and there was only one last thing to do for me, discovering a bit of former British colonial Yangon… Initially when I had entered Myanmar my impressions of Yangon on my more than Underwhelming Arrival […]
Travel Day 1163 – Kalaw, MYANMAR Yesterday evening right before all the hiking agencies closed, I had signed up for a little day hike without actually knowing what to expect… Well, technically I expected an experience similar to the amazing hike to Pankam Village by Hsipaw, but after arriving in Kalaw yesterday afternoon, it was […]
Travel Day 1162 – Nyaungshwe to Kalaw, MYANMAR After spending time at the touristic Inle Lake, I really wanted to see the second hiking paradise after Hsipaw, Kalaw… Actually many people considered Kalaw the best hiking place in Myanmar, especially because it was possible to approach Inle Lake on foot during a three-day hike. These […]
Travel Day 1161 – Nyaungshwe, Inle Lake and Inthein, MYANMAR Despite my dislike for the touristic area of Nyangshwe, today I simply had to join one of the popular boat tours to Inle Lake… Initially I had thought that Nyaungshwe was situated right at the lake and that one could simply enjoy the views of […]
