Biking to the Castle
Today, I took a bike trip to the Austrian-Slovakian border, where I explored the March floodplains and Devín Castle. Continue reading Biking to the Castle

2000 years of history
Today was my last full day in Provence – and I did not even spend it in Provence, but in the neighboring region of Occitania. The reason for this was that today was, in fact, the synthesis of the two previous days: Romans + Bridge = Pont du Gard. Continue reading 2000 years of history

Sur le pont d’Avignon
Since I have currently set up camp in Avignon, I naturally had to explore this city a bit – and today was the day. Continue reading Sur le pont d’Avignon

The Roman provience
The city of Arles is rich in Roman history – and Roman ruins. Today, I visited those on a day trip to this city. Continue reading The Roman provience

Peninsula and Island
I spent the last two and a half days in and around Hyères. Most of my (active) time, I spent outside the city limits, though: on the Presqu’île de Giens and the offshore island of Porquerolles. Continue reading Peninsula and Island

A few hours in Aínsa
The location of Aínsa is definitely excellent: at the confluence of two rivers (Río Ara and Río Cinca), with (the remains of) a medieval fortress on a small hill, and the Pyrenees in the background. But can it keep me busy long enough to fill the time until I can drive on to my next accommodation? Continue reading A few hours in Aínsa

Angkor and more
The main attraction of Cambodia are the temples of Angkor. So, this was also the main focus of my five-day stay. Still, I also explored rural Cambodia a bit. Continue reading Angkor and more

Gray Greymouth
Actually, the title above is probably a bit unfair to Greymouth. After all, I decided to spend the two sunny days somewhere else (namely around Hokitikia and in Punakaiki). So, it is not the fault of Greymouth that only the rainy day was left. However, I still think that the true West Coast treasures can rather be found elsewhere. Continue reading Gray Greymouth

Remnants of gold diggers
Today was dedicated to the gold diggers of Karangahake Gorge – or (more precisely) what they have left behind. Continue reading Remnants of gold diggers
