With Fiji Airways we took the 10-hour flight to Hong Kong. Due to the time difference, we didn't arrive too late in the evening. On one hand, it was good because all trains were...

Before going to the island of Taveuni, we had to repack. Maximum of 15 kg of luggage per person is allowed. That wasn't easy. So we left a backpack at the hostel in Nadi and went...

How do you imagine paradise on earth? Our previous idea became true here in Fiji. Turquoise water, picturesque beaches, delicious food, friendly people, and swinging in hammocks.

The Gold Coast was our next stop after Brisbane. We didn't know what to expect, only that it was supposed to be very beautiful. And it was, but in a completely different way than...

We continue south. We had to hurry a bit as we were supposed to be in Rainbow Beach in the evening to prepare for our trip to Fraser Island.

What a flight from Perth to Brisbane to Cairns. We took off on Wednesday at 11pm and landed in Cairns on Thursday morning around 10am. The unexpectedly large aircraft from...

The long journey back to Perth passed quickly and we were greeted with something quite unusual - clouds and rain! We hadn't had that at all lately.

The long journey from Exmouth via Paraburdoo and Tom Price to Karajini National Park was definitely worth it.

Our new week started with a visit to Shell Beach, which is already located in the Shark Bay Marine Park. The beach consists mainly of small shells instead of sand. It's...

afternoon in Perth, where the weather was already much warmer than the past week. Perth is the capital of West Australia, where we spent the next three days.

Our third and final week began in Whakatane on the Pacific coast. The Bay of Plenty is known as the region with the most hours of sunshine.

Although our second week started a bit rainy, the late summer with lots of sunshine became our daily companion. We visited the two cities Hastings and Napier on the east coast...

With a huge smile on our faces and incredible joy, we started our tour of the North Island. We didn't know exactly where to go yet. The feeling of freedom was enormous and we...

Unfortunately, it is not possible to travel directly from Peru to New Zealand. So, we flew from Lima to Santiago de Chile. Since there are direct flights from here and we were...

After a comfortable ride through desert and steppe, we arrived at the small coastal town of Paracas. It was wonderful to see the sea again after the long journey.

We took the last night bus of our trip from Arequipa to Nazca. The main attraction here are the Nazca Lines.

In the morning, we set off from Puno towards Chivay. When we boarded the tour bus, the guide briefly explained the route and the small stops we would make. But where were all the...

On the way from Cusco to Puno, our bus was like a tourist carriage. Several stops were made along the way for old churches, museums, or Inca sites.

Cusco welcomed us with a delayed, turbulent landing, rain, and a clueless taxi driver. Much later than expected, we arrived at our first Airbnb accommodation. We were warmly...

Off the ship and into the remote city of Iquitos. Together with our hammock neighbor from Switzerland, we searched for a nice restaurant for dinner, including Wi-Fi, to find a...

Arriving in Yurimaguas, we were pleased with our hotel room. Equipped with air conditioning, a good shower, and a great location. The heat was unbearable!

After our adventurous arrival at our lodge, we were completely happy. No traffic noise and no stuffy exhaust fumes. Just the sounds of the jungle ...

We made it! Completely shaken, we arrived in Chachapoyas after a 12-hour drive. Fortunately, most of the journey took place in the dark, so we only saw occasional deep abysses...

At first glance, Cajamarca seemed like any other city, but after a few steps through the city, we quickly noticed that there is no MC Donalds, no Starbucks, and nothing of the...

After another night bus ride, we arrived in the second largest city in Peru. From Trujillo it is not far to Huanchaco, the most popular surf spot in the country.

We arrived in Huaraz early in the morning, after an 8-hour overnight bus ride we were pretty exhausted and went straight to the hostel.

We have reached our first destination and landed in sunny and warm Lima with a slightly delayed flight.

The nervousness is rising...

Nice that you are visiting our blog, tomorrow our journey around the world starts and we can't wait.
