sorry only google translate… 🙁 So now it was time again. Exactly 701 days after departure to our world trip we were back at Munich Airport, in the same terminal of the same airline and the same destination: Dubai! Well, this time yes only for 4 hours, but we wanted to put out the analogy times. For ...

sorry, only google translate 🙁 fter 4 hours of driving in one of those usual in Thailand minivans, so we were arrived in Pai. Jeab had us already warned that Pai is a paradise for (grass-fuming) Backpacker and accordingly we were almost ready for anything. However, it turned out to be much less serious than feared ...

sorry only google translate 🙁 Mae Hong Son is located a further 3 hours mini van ride from Pai, accordingly we arrived after our departure in Pai at 18:00 until sunset (since we are so close to the equator, it is in fact already dark at about 18: 30 ). As Mae Hong Son is so small ...

sorry, only google translate so far… 🙁 The flight from Mae Hong Son to Chiang Mai takes only about 30 minutes, but somehow it create the stewards in maybe 10 minutes between start and landing to provide a service. Back at the airport, we went first again by airport shuttle back to the hostel, where we had ...

sorry, only google translate 🙁 After the great experience with Jeab in Chiang Mai, we had to Chiang Rai again a couch surfer wanted, which was ready to host us. Her name is Namsan and they run a business in Chiang Rai. Although we had learned from the profile that we would sleep in the hotel ...

Our primary goal in Laos was the world famous UNESCO Heritage town Luang Prabang. To get there, there is – except fly – two options: The first is a 2-day boat trip on the Mekong. Sound first quite well until we looked a little deeper into the subject. There is a public boat for around 25 ...

sorry, only google translate 🙁 Luang Namtha is a beautiful little town in the north of Laos, which is not yet arrived apparently really for tourists, although it certainly has the necessary infrastructure with guest houses and tour operators. It is probably more of an insider tip for hiking and action tourists but also for people ...

sorry, only google translate 🙁 Luang Prabang is the tourist heart of Laos and was touted to us by many as THE HIGHLIGHT of Laos. The reader of an English travel magazine choose it well regularly for rewarding city destination worldwide. Accordingly, we sat in anticipation in the booked mini van to in 7 (!!!) hours, ...

Since we landed late in the evening in Hanoi, we did not get much of Hanoi in the evening, but should change the next day. Hanoi is probably a typical Asian metropolis, but after we had not been to any of them, the traffic was almost the language. The pictures are probably more than we could ...

sorry, only google translate 🙁 The night train from Hanoi to Sa Pa is surprisingly pleasant and recommendable (as long as one is not above 1.80m). You sleep in a 4 person compartment – which we shared with two nice Australians – and the mattresses are thin, but for Southeast Asian conditions but quite ok (no ...

After a quite pleasant – although this time due to the arrival time at 5:15 a bit shorter – night in the night train, we went back to our hotel in Hanoi, which had organized us the bus transfer to Cat Ba Island and promised us before a breakfast would have. That worked everything as ...

Had we burnt our fingers in Cat Ba with the Vietnamese business, we have become more cautious, and rightly so. Our bus trip to Ha Long City should be a prime example of the fact that we are actually perceived by Vietnamese as only changing ATMs. A nice staff member of a travel agency had ...

sorry, only google translate… From our one-day return to Hanoi there is not much to tell, as we spent most of the time relaxing and shopping. The highlight was definitely the visit of the night market, which again had a completely different dimension than the ones seen so far. But good, the city is also a ...
