Today, I wanted to visit the town of Gáldar. As the Cueva Pintada, a museum about the pre-hispanic Indigenous inhabitants of the island, only opened at 11 a.m., I also had time for a bit of exploration of the wild West coast to the North of Puerto de las Nieves.

Busloads of tourists in Bolzano
As today was supposed to be another rather rainy day, I opted for city sightseeing instead of hiking: I went to Bozen (as it was least likely to rain there). Continue reading Busloads of tourists in Bolzano

Books always make a room better
Slowly, it is time to think about returning home. So, I drove East today. My first stop was at Admont Abbey to visit the impressive Admont Abbey Library. In the afternoon, I went hiking in Waterhole Gorge. Continue reading Books always make a room better

Long Day of Museums
Today was a rather untypical day for me: It was focused on tourist sights and museums. Still, I also managed to squeeze in a short hike in the morning. In the afternoon, I visited Hohenwerfen Castle. In the evening, I finally participated in the "Lange Nacht der Museen" (Long Night of Museums). Continue reading Long Day of Museums

The ruins of Herculaneum
Today, it was rather rainy. So, I decided to forgo my planned hike on the Sorrento peninsula, and visited the ruins of Herculaneum and the National Museum of Archeology in Naples instead. Continue reading The ruins of Herculaneum

Back to Hanoi
As far as the weather is concerned, this week has started as the last one has ended: cloudy with light drizzle. Therefore, I spent the last two days in Hanoi, exploring some museums (and taking advantage of the dry spells for some exploration of the city streets). Continue reading Back to Hanoi

The communistic-capitalistic Saigon
I am on a three-weeks long trip through Vietnam, which I have started in Ho Chi Minh City (the former Saigon). Walking through the streets here, it is easy to forget that one is visiting one of the last communist countries of the world. Continue reading The communistic-capitalistic Saigon

So-wet-o
Actually, Soweto stands for South Western Townships. However, considering the amount of rain in the past two days, the meaning hinted at in the title also seems appropriate. Continue reading So-wet-o

City without castle
Unfortunately, today was rather rainy. Luckily, I have already spent one morning exploring the City of Luxembourg. So, I had already seen a bit of the old town, and was happy to spend my time today in several museums. Continue reading City without castle

Today, I visited some of Luxembourg’s castles: First, I had a look at the most well-known (and most visited) castle of the country in Vianden. Then, I went on to Clervaux for the three museums in its castle. Continue reading The Castles of Luxembourg
