Yes, this is going to be a post without pictures of buildings nor Mayan ruins. The second part of the trip seems to be moving towards a more nature-orientated part. At least for the moment. Or until Chichen Itza… Welcome…
Im writing this before boarding the bus for Tulum. Another long night bus ride – 11 hours at least – ahead of me. The good part – I get to process some photos, write a bit – before and ON…
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words…so this post should be like a small novel.
One of the interesting parts of vacation – and staying at hostels, taking buses, eating at hole-in-the-wall places – is that you get to meet a lot of interesting people. Everybody has a story, everybody can recommend places to see…
Ciudad de Mexico is…. the smell of delicious food – tortas, burritos, quesadilla, and so many more which I intend to try music – everywhere I can hear a band playing – from love songs to spanish rock colonial buildings…
Sometimes people look at me somewhat strange when I tell them I have no particular plan when I start traveling. I have a general idea what I want to see, and at one point (morning coffee) I read the guide…
New mid-year resolution: finally start to learn proper Spanish. It is clear that sooner or later I am going to come back to another Spanish speaking country, being either Spain proper or somewhere in South / Central America. I do…
I’m writing this while passing the southern tip of Groenland. Im supposed to catch some sleep in order to accommodate to the new time zone, however the day has no intention of ending- and above the clouds it’s always sunny.…
Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in South-East Asia. As it sustains a lot of wildlife and small communities it’s a great place to visit once you get “templed out”. After the amazing temples of Angkor a change feels…
While Angkor Wat is the most famous temple complex in Cambodia, there is a huge diversity of temples in the area. I think a whole week would not be enough to visit every little temple – so everybody has to…
Chiang Mai is small town in northern Thailand, famous for the many activities one can do. From elephant riding, trekking, rafting, visiting the tiger zoo to enjoying the many markets and strolling the old town. And of course you cannot…
This is the last photo gallery from Laos – images from Luang Prabang street life, temples and life on the river. The last pictures are taken from the airplane, leaving for Siem Reap. Previous galleries from laos can be found…
Here are a few more pictures from Luang Prabang. These photos were mostly taken at the different temples in Luang Prabang. For more images you can check my previous post.
For some Laos is the “real” Asia. Of course, every country is very real. From the BTS in Bangkok to the hill tribes to relaxed Laos to crazy traffic in Hanoi. Looking for the “real” Asia (re: rice fields, fastest…
Following the last post – and as a sign of my re-found travel itch – here are some photos took last year in Vietnam. I spent only about 5 days in Vietnam, of which 3 were in Halong Bay (I…
Bangkok is a very interesting city for a tourist. It is the gateway to Asia, so sooner or later everyone arrives here. Some will leave the city as quickly as possible, and some will stay longer. Besides the heat, air…
This is not going to be a cheerful post. S21 – for those who do not know – is the codename for one of the most brutal prisons, where thousands of people were tortured. It all happened when the Khmers…
Although in the last posts there were not many photos, that does not mean I took no photos. Not at all…
Random thoughts and pleasant memories. Written while waiting in Phnom Penh airport – have to put free WiFi to good use, right? Unfortunatally when I wanted to post this, my connection fell to pieces. So here it is, a few…
I know some people already started to worry what’s with me – where are the posts, where are the pictures. Nothing happened – actually nothing bad happened. I’m enjoying this trip immensely, and I do not really find the time…
