um-die-welt 2007

Mit etwas Verspaetung komme ich endlich dazu hier ueber meine Erlebnisse auf dieser Reise zu berichten. Also Argentinien die Erste: Meine erste Station ist Buenos Aires. Eine Stadt mit Charme der Alten Welt vermischt mit einem kraeftigen Schuss Modern...

 

Australia

After Cervantes, we cruised on down through Perth (which will be our final Australian destination) to the funky and very pretty port city of Fremantle where we left Drew and Alistair for a few days while we continued further south. We plan to stay in F...

 

Do you come from a land Down under?

Sept. 2005: The trip over here went well, although I almost missed my early birdy morning flight from Helsinki to Vienna, because of luggage check-in problems. Later I got in trouble with the airport police in Vienna, because the number in my Visa ...

 

World Backpacking Trip (Part 2) - New Zealand, Australia, Asia & Europe 2006 / 2007

Wednesday 11th April I Woke at 5am as train rattled into Hanoi. I met Aaron and Natalie at the front of the station and we took a taxi back to the same hotel, where we had breakfast because nowhere else was open before 8am. Then I took a ta...

 

Australasia and South East Asia... a continuation on a toilet theme

Homogenity very much defines shopping in Thailand, and the floating market outside Bangkok was no exception. Repetitive photo album designs, countless fake Rolex's and wood-rounded candlestick holders abound, I must've seen them all in at least 50 di...

 

Australia

Sun 25 Feb 07 (Writing on the 1st March) FROM KAKADU TO KATHERINE I was really excited about arriving in Katherine. From what we had heard and read it sounded a lovely little town. Having stayed three days I don't know how anyone could live here! ...

 

Goodbye Edinburgh, Hello World

Well, apparently our time is nearly up and we're having to return to dear old Blighty very soon. Life's a beach, isn't it? Well it has been for us recently, anyway. We've been in Thailand for around two months now. It's the kind of place where nothi...

 

Up thru Central Aus

Up in the dark at 5:30, a quick breakfast of toast and jam, load up the bus and trailer for the 3hour drive to Mt Ebenezer, a roadhouse and campground, where we’d swap drivers. Mulgas was down one guide/driver so Glen was doing a back to back trip. To ...

 

Weltreise 2006

In Darwin checken wir in Chillis Backpacker Hostel ein. Unser Plan, die Westkueste entlang zu reisen, platzt innerhalb einer Minute, da zwischen Darwin und Broome alle Strassen ueberschwemmt sind und es auch zwischen Broome und Perth sieben Zyklone gab...

 

Trip of a lifetime!

Well we arrived in Sydney after a tiresome 23 hours of travelling from Joburg, Africa, on the 6th March 2006....

 

ROUND THE WORLD

Spent only 2 days in Arequipa, leaving us too little time to visit the nearby Colca canyon. Instead we rested and visited the charming Santa Catalina monastery....

 

Chasing Winters aka A Blind Man's Guide To S.E.Asia

So now it’s finally onto Cambodia. A Dutch couple travelling the opposite direction told us to expect a two and a half hour bus trip from where the boat berths. Jason came to the conclusion that we should expect the worst. The worst I’d heard was that ...

 

The Top End

We opted for an early morning boat cruise up to the second gorge, out of 13 in total. We wimped out of taking the canoe, as we thought it would be too hot to paddle upstream. We felt guilty for half a second for taking it easy on a boat loaded with b...

 

The Land Down Under

My first two nights of hostel stay were included in the program I am going through. Brekky (breakfast-although I don't think anyone I know is dumb enough not to get that) was also included. I meandered downstairs to grab the continental breakfast and...

 

Mildura to Darwin

Well about 12hrs at home was enough for both of us it seems because this is all the time I got to spend back in Mildura before I jumped in a car with 3 other guys to make the long drive to Darwin to do some serious fishing. We were well prepared with ...
