I would have loved to explore the Vltava River bends near Český Krumlov by canoe, but the weather (at least to my liking) did not cooperate. Therefore, I limited myself to exploring on foot. That made it easier to plan around the rain showers. Continue reading Český Krumlov without canoe

Katman-hin-du and Namo-Buddha
We spent the last two days of our vacation back in Nepal, specifically in (and around) Kathmandu. Since both Hinduism and Buddhism play an important role in Nepal, we visited both Hindu and Buddhist temples – sometimes even both at once. Continue reading Katman-hin-du and Namo-Buddha

Tango in Thimphu Valley
We spent the last day and a half in Thimphu Valley, where Bhutan’s capital city of the same name is located. However, the biggest attraction (in my opinion) was not the city itself, but rather the Tango Monastery, which is located a little further north in the valley.

Two hours in the border triangle
As already mentioned, I am now on my way home. I could have even made it to the night train to Vienna today, but I wanted to treat myself to a short stopover to spread out the train journey a bit. So, today I spent about two hours exploring the city of Mulhouse, located in the border triangle of France, Germany, and Switzerland. Continue reading Two hours in the border triangle

The colours of Provence
When you think of the colors of Provence, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the purple of lavender. However, the Provence can also be reddish-brown, almost like the American Southwest: in Colorado Provençal. Continue reading The colours of Provence
