Today, I took a day tour to the Mekong delta. While it was quite touristy, it was still a nice excursion. Continue reading A day in the Mekong Delta

The communistic-capitalistic Saigon
I am on a three-weeks long trip through Vietnam, which I have started in Ho Chi Minh City (the former Saigon). Walking through the streets here, it is easy to forget that one is visiting one of the last communist countries of the world. Continue reading The communistic-capitalistic Saigon

My first trip to Africa
For a very long time, Africa was still a (mostly) blank spot on my travel map. In fall 2018, I managed to change that with a trip to South Africa (and Lesotho).

(Deutsch) Die Perle Südafrikas
My three days in Cape Town were almost to short to get to know the city properly. Still, I can say that it will be difficult for any other South African city to compete with Cape Town: its location between Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain is extraordinary, it is quite safe (for South African standards), and there is lots to see.

At the Cape of Good Hope
I have finally arrived at the last stop of my vaction in South Africa: Cape Town. From there, I took a day tour to the Cap Peninsula today, visiting Hout Bay, Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, and Boulder Beach. Continue reading At the Cape of Good Hope

Hiking at Amphitheatre
I spent the last two-and-a-half days in the Northern Drakensberg region. The first one-and-a-half days I did something which is (for me) quite extraordinary: nothing. Only yesterday, I went on a day hike to the Amphitheatre and Tugela Falls. Continue reading Hiking at Amphitheatre

The Roof of Africa
Today, our stay in Lesotho came to an end – and it was a worthy end: a drive over the "Roof of Africa" (a mountain road in the East of the country). Continue reading The Roof of Africa
