South Pacific cliché
Tahiti was actually just a short stop-over. My true South Pacific adventure really did start with five days in Moorea. Continue reading South Pacific cliché

Iona ist not dull either
On my second day on the Isle of Mull, I finally got to do what I had originally alread planned for the day before: a visit to the Isle of Iona. This small island was an important center for Celtic Christianity almost 1,500 years ago. However, it also has some nice beaches to offer (even for swimming, if you are brave enough – which I am not). Continue reading Iona ist not dull either

Driving through time and space
Today, I already had to say goodbye to the Isle of Arran. My destination today was Oban. However, to break up the driving, I have selected a few interesting stops in between. weitergefahren. Um die Fahrt aber interessanter zu gestalten, habe ich mir ein paar nette Zwischenstopps ausgesucht. Continue reading Driving through time and space

New week, new island
At the start of my second (full) week of holidays on the Canary Islands, I took the ferry to the next island: Tenerife. I will spend the rest of my holidays there – even though the title might indicate that I will be switching islands weekly now. However, Tenerife is larger than Gran Canaria. So, I will (hopefully) not be bored. Continue reading New week, new island

Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
Also today, I was drawn to places outside the city. I will spend the next week in Las Palmas anyway – mostly working, but hopefully I will also find some time for short explorations within the city. So, I decided to visit two nice towns a bit further away today: Arucas and Teror. Continue reading Empty Arucas, crowded Teror

A cozy capital
When you are spending ten days in Slovenia, a visit to the capital should also be on the itinerary. Therefore, I spent a couple of hours in Ljubljana today. Continue reading A cozy capital

Look at this lake!
Today, the weather was supposed to be a bit more unstable again. However, the latest days with “changeable” weather actually turned out quite nice. So, I decided to go on a little hike nonetheless – just down in the valley: I hiked to and around Toblacher See, after spotting it yesterday from the bus window. Continue reading Look at this lake!

Busloads of tourists in Bolzano
As today was supposed to be another rather rainy day, I opted for city sightseeing instead of hiking: I went to Bozen (as it was least likely to rain there). Continue reading Busloads of tourists in Bolzano
