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 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.

At the Cape of Good Hope
I have finally arrived at the last stop of my vaction in South Africa: Cape Town. From there, I took a day tour to the Cap Peninsula today, visiting Hout Bay, Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, and Boulder Beach. Continue reading At the Cape of Good Hope

Hiking at Amphitheatre
I spent the last two-and-a-half days in the Northern Drakensberg region. The first one-and-a-half days I did something which is (for me) quite extraordinary: nothing. Only yesterday, I went on a day hike to the Amphitheatre and Tugela Falls. Continue reading Hiking at Amphitheatre
