After my trip to Nong Khiaw, I returned to Luang Prabang, because the next leg of my journey starts from there. This time, I used my stay in the city to familiarize myself a bit with the local customs. Continue reading The traditions of Laos

Full, fuller, Singapore?
The transition from the vastness (and emptiness) of the Southern Alps in New Zealand metropolis of Singapore is a tough one. Still, I braved the masses, and explored the city for two days. Continue reading Full, fuller, Singapore?

City of two worlds
I spent my last days in New Zealand in Christchurch. I was happy to see some life again in the city center&nsbp;– very much in contrast to the last time I was there, shortly after the severe earthquakes. But there are still (sometimes quite deep) wounds visible in the city. Continue reading City of two worlds

(Cloud) Banks Peninsula
I have spent the last four days on the Banks Peninsula (after an “organization day” in Christchurch). The main focus was on the Banks Track, but I also visited the main town Akaroa (again). Continue reading (Cloud) Banks Peninsula

Water in Wellington
I spent my last two days on the North Island in Wellington, New Zealand’s capital. In the spirit of my stay on the North Island with its rather changeable weather, it rained for half of the time. Continue reading Water in Wellington

O Brother, Where Art Deco?
Napier was also intended basically as a stopover between two must-dos on my route. However, this time I spent two nights in town, because I also wanted to see something of the city (and the surrounding area). Continue reading O Brother, Where Art Deco?

Giants of the forest
After Hokianga Harbour, I explored the Kauri Coast. As the name suggests, this area boast some (very) large Kauri trees. Continue reading Giants of the forest

Water in Whangarei
As during my last stay in Northland, the Northern-most part of New Zealand’s North Island, water has dominated my stay – unfortunately also in the sense of rain. Continue reading Water in Whangarei

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
