My second visit to the Grand Canyon was somehow completely different than the first one: In 2003, I was already speechless when just standing at the rim, and looking down into the canyon. This time, however, I needed a bit more to be in awe again. Continue reading Flying High and Walking Deep Down

Canyons Without End
Moab is not only an outdoor mecca, and close to Arches NP. It is also close to another national park which is completely different from the first one: Canyonlands NP. Continue reading Canyons Without End

Truly Grand Tetons
I have not heard of the Grand Tetons before this trip. Still, this national park is definitely worth a visit. Continue reading Truly Grand Tetons

Winter Wonderland Yosemite
I intended this trip to be my summer holiday, and I expected to enjoy (at least) spring-like temperatures in Yosemite. However, here it is still winter: Sub-zero temperatures at night, and a (snow) storm passing through. Continue reading Winter Wonderland Yosemite

Time Difference: 6 weeks
The actual time difference between Austria and Canada might only be six hours, but as far as nature and the seasons are concerned, it seems more like six weeks to me. Continue reading Time Difference: 6 weeks

Hurray, some rain!
When I arrived in Boquete yesterday, I did not really encounter the "spring-like climate" that should be found here year-round. Rather, it felt more like summer to me. In the evening and at night, however, it cooled down considerably, and I even needed a thin blanket – how nice! Continue reading Hurray, some rain!

Drenched in Sweat
I do not know if I have ever sweated that much as during my stay on the Osa peninsula, espially during my two-day hiking trek in the Parque Nacional Corcovado. After having hiked half way on the second day, my (fast-drying) hiking shirt was drenched in sweat – and stinking as hell! Continue reading Drenched in Sweat

Monteverde
As I complained about the tourists in Granada, I should complain even more about the tourists in Monteverde where you can hardly find any locals at all. However, for some reason they do not bother me too much here. The cold, though, is much more of a nuisance. Continue reading Monteverde

Ometepe, the Jewel of Nicaragua
I really enjoyed myself on the Isla de Ometepe, which is situated in the middle of Lago de Nicaragua. In my opinion, the island is a must for every traveller coming to Nicaragua. Continue reading Ometepe, the Jewel of Nicaragua
