One advantage of the Garden Route is that everything is quite close together. However, in case of bad weather, this is also a disadvantage: You are likely to have bad weather everywhere. Yesterday, this was confirmed for me, unfortunately. Luckily, the sunshine returned much sooner than anticipated. So, I could enjoy Knysna in the sun today.

Wet in Wilderness
Considering the fact that it was raining quite a lot while I was in Wilderness, I was quite lucky with the weather, as I even caught a bit of sun. Still, I was not able to do everything on my agenda due to the inclement weather. Continue reading Wet in Wilderness

Whale Wind ahead!
Just over a year after my first trip to South Africa, I am visiting the country again. This time, the focus is on the Garden Route and the Wild Coast. Today, however, I started with the so-called Whale Coast to the South-East of Cape Town. Continue reading Whale Wind ahead!

Autumn around Vienna
Luckily, autumn in (and around) Vienna is not only dominated by the fog: Today, it was sunny almost all day – especially on the Rax, one of the mountains close to Vienna. Continue reading Autumn around Vienna

Autumn in Vienna
What I do not like about Vienna, are some of its autumn days, when thick fog lies over the city. Continue reading Autumn in Vienna

Hiking in Wagrain
After a workshop in Wagrain in the middle of the week, I extended my stay over the weekend to go hiking in the surrounding mountains. Continue reading Hiking in Wagrain

Hiking the Amalfi Coast

Hiking with the Black Hmong
My Vietnam vacation is slowly coming to an end. My last excursion led me to Sapa, where I explored the mountains with their rice fields on a hike guided by a member of the local community, the Black Hmong. I really enjoyed this area, and it was a fitting end to my Vietnam trip. Continue reading Hiking with the Black Hmong

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.
