Today, I went on another guided tour, this time to Skadar Lake. However, I could not profit of the commentary of our tour guide – it was all in Russian. But Skadar Lake is enjoyable even (or especially?) without comment. Continue reading Skadar Lake

Pilgrim for a day
To make the most of my stay in Budva, I took advantage of the tourist infrastructure today, and went on a guide tour. On this tour, we visited Cetinje (the former capital), and the Ostrog monasteries. Continue reading Pilgrim for a day

Am I in Russia?
As I enjoyed Kotor that much, I have been looking forward to my next destination, Budva. This time, however, my (now quite high) expectations have not been fulfilled. Continue reading Am I in Russia?

Fjord of the South
From Dubrovnik, I continued down the coast to the South, into Montenegro. Even while I was still on the bus on my way to Kotor, I had already decided that I really like this area. Continue reading Fjord of the South

Things to know about Dubrovnik
When you are travelling, you can learn quite a few things. For me, my stay in Dubrovnik meant learning some things about the city that I did not expect – mainly because these were things a travel guide will not really talk about. Continue reading Things to know about Dubrovnik

A Sinful Place on Earth
My first few hours in Las Vegas were (surprisingly enough) quite pleasant: a last dinner with my fellow travellers, some free Casino Shows – what more could you ask for? Continue reading A Sinful Place on Earth

A Biblical Place on Earth
Zion NP got its name from the first (mormon) settler because it was so idyllic and untouched. In fact, it basically still is (considering the fact that it is a tourist destination), and is definitely one of my favourites on this trip. Continue reading A Biblical Place on Earth

Flying High and Walking Deep Down
My second visit to the Grand Canyon was somehow completely different than the first one: In 2003, I was already speechless when just standing at the rim, and looking down into the canyon. This time, however, I needed a bit more to be in awe again. Continue reading Flying High and Walking Deep Down
