Originally, I wanted to explore Pisa today. As this is currently not possible (for obvious reasons), I decided to go on a day trip by bike instead: I cycled along the "Dampfross & Drahtesel" bike route North of Vienna. Continue reading "Dampfross & Drahtesel" instead of Dolce Vita

Back to Cape Town
Like last year, I ended my trip to South Africa in Cape Town. This time, I focused a bit more on the recent history of the city than the main tourist sites: I did some walking tours, and visited Robben Island and the District Six Museum. Continue reading Back to Cape Town

Awed in Phong Nha
As I have heard a lot of good things about Phong Nha, I had high expectations — and even those were surpassed. The landscape alone is very beautiful, and the enormous caves in the area are just stunning. Continue reading Awed in Phong Nha

Cycling the Old Coach Road
Today, I decided to use some other means of transport than usual: I biked the Old Coach Road, which was the link between the Northern and Southern rail branches (before completion of the train link in the early 1900s). Continue reading Cycling the Old Coach Road
