Koh Phi Phi was a whole lot like expected and a whole lot UNexpected. As mentioned before our first night drowned us in strawberrry daiquiris and buried us in sexy jenga blocks. When you see a guy downing his drink in too tight shorts and a crop top he is most certainly playing sexy jenga, […]
3 holi-Days
Koh Lanta was very different from what we have seen so far. Since it is low season the island was very quiet and many shops or restaurants still closed. For us it was perfect. Together with two Germans who we met on the boat, we booked into a nice bungalow resort called Papillon. Mike arrived […]
What you’ve missed in Thailand
Previously in Thailand: Episode 1: On our last day in Cambodia plans changed twice. The bird park we wanted to access by boat was too expensive so quick-thinker Chantrea took us to the cultural village instead. There we watched three shows, one telling a love story, one demonstrating Khmer weddings and one portraying the Chinese […]
Cambodia 2.0
Chantrea’s plans had us head to the temples of Angkor for our first day. His brother Michara took us in his Tuk tuk and actually walked in a few of the temples with us, although he could not explain all too many things. That was fine. We did all the temples on the small cirquit […]
Switching Countries
Oh, Cambodia, it is nice to see you again. As you can tell we have survived our eight hour bus trip from Bangkok to Siemreab. Tim arrived yesterday and fell in love with the hostel and its inhabitants just as much as I had before. After a rather calm day in which I packed and […]
Hot and Humid
Today I am pretty bummed out and not feeling so well. That started yesterday night when we were out to eat, and I didn’t even order anything. I went to a riverside roof top bar with the others which was amazing anyway and Emilia from Denmark and I took over the music shortly before closing […]
First impressions
I love Bangkok. Sure it’s hot and I am not doing so well with the food, but one of the hostel mates said I’ll get used to it. At the moment I am getting my nails done which is absolutely heavenly and gives me time to write. The hostel I chose is perfect. The owners […]
Arrival time – 11:55am
At the moment I am waiting for my first Thai meal, so I have a bit of time to write down my adventures. I don’t want to talk about the flight so much because I will probably do a post on China Southern separately from this. Back to food. The meal I got on the […]
We can fly, we can fly, we can fly
I haven’t been on a plane for half a year, which has started to feel like some sort of personal record. I almost forgot I used a plane to get home from France last time I flew. After my extensive flying in spring last year, I got pretty fed up with the procedures and the […]
Traintracks
Even though early in the week, today seems to be a travel day. The regional train to Cologne is not only packed, it is stuffed with suitcases so a normally equipped person would have trouble passing the small ally between the seats. For me, heaving a backpack broader than me, a suitcase and my guitar, […]
