Colonial town with holes in the ground
Slowly, I have the feeling that I have seen enough of colonial towns. Fortunately, Valladolid also has something else to offer (apart from Chichén Itzá close by): holes in the ground – or, in other words: cenotes. Continue reading Colonial town with holes in the ground

Old caves, new castle
I have finally arrived at the last destination of this year’s stay in Georgia: Borjomi. From there, I went on an excursion to the impressive cave city of Vardzia. I also stopped at some other sights on the route, like the newly rebuilt (and insanely kitschy) Akhaltsikhe Castle. Continue reading Old caves, new castle

Green Hills and Blue Caves
The last destination of my stay in Croatia was also the least touristy: the island of Vis. This island used to be a military base (up to 1989). Therefore, it is not yet that developed for toursists. However, that was just what I wanted. So, I simply spent my time lazying around and enjoying the island life on Vis and the neighbouring island of Biševo. Continue reading Green Hills and Blue Caves

At the Moria Gate (Arch)
Today, I explored the Karst formations of the Oparara Basin As the original explorers were reminded of Tolkien's Middle Earth by this area, a lot of place names are references to "Lord of the Rings", like the Moria Gate Arch. Continue reading At the Moria Gate (Arch)
