Travelling Han Style

There and back again

Seit heute Vormittag bin ich wieder in Ziemetshausen und habe mich gleich mit einer Butterbreze akklimatisiert. Ich möchte nochmal kurz die für mich eindrücklichsten Erfahrungen...

Shanghai

Today, after a relatively short night, I explored Shanghai. I took the metro to the city center and, of course, made a fool of myself. But without planning and language skills,...

China: eine schwierige Beziehung

Nach dem ersten Tag meiner Reise an dem es nicht hat sollen sein, dass ich nach Peking komme, war ich entschlossen den Aufenthalt in Shanghai zu genießen. Es war ja auch alles...

Dies und das

Heute ist der letzte ganze Tag in Australien und bevor ich jetzt dann das Packen anfange hier noch ein paar Dinge, die mir auf meiner Reise aufgefallen sind: - Thema links...

Great Barrier Reef

Today towards the end of my trip was an absolute highlight: I went on a snorkeling tour to the Great Barrier Reef... We left early in the morning because I had to be in Port...

Cairns Promenade

Yesterday, I was still swimming in the artificial lagoon when the sun set, and that's why there's a separate little entry with the photo... 🌇

Flora and Fauna

Today was/is an absolutely spectacular day. I was at Hartley's, they have a crocodile farm, a small zoo, and it's right next to a lagoon full of saltwater crocodiles....

The sun is shining!

Today, the sun has actually been shining almost continuously since the morning! And the vacation motivation is rising 😁 This morning, I was walking along the coast at different...

Cairns - Rain and Tanks

Since yesterday, there has been a significant amount of water coming from the sky, to be precise >120mm 😲 (more than in our rainiest month on average, or about 1/7 of our...

Now it's time...

... I bought an umbrella today 😂 That's exactly how I imagine the rainy season. Even though the weather forecast for today was actually quite good and the sun even peeked out...

Rainforest

Today was the last major trip to my destination Cairns... On the way, I looked at three waterfalls - mostly in the rain - and also discovered this not-so-small spider (about...

Auf in die Tropen

Yesterday was a very uneventful day, there is actually nothing to report about it... Today I set off again to Mackay. The drive was as monotonous as always here, as there are...

Rockhampton

Heute und morgen befinde ich mich in Rockhampton und wollte mal ein paar Dinge berichten, die mir bisher in Australien aufgefallen sind. Erstmal noch zu Rockhampton, die Stadt...

Koalas and 'Sunshine Coast'

Just a quick note about yesterday: I survived the night and the evening was quite nice with a pub quiz, free welcome drink, and BBQ almost for free 😉 Today, one of the...

Sydney - Brisbane

Außer sehr leckeren, scharfen Känguruspießen gibt es nichts besonderes von gestern mehr zu berichten... Heut dann also auf nach Norden nach Brisbane. Hab gleich mein Auto...

Sea Life and Chinatown

Today, due to the unpredictable weather, I stayed indoors first, specifically at the Sydney Aquarium... Who knows if the Great Barrier Reef tour will happen, so I got to see a...

24 hours Sydney

Phew, crazy, what you can experience in 24 hours! 😲 After my nap and a wonderful shower yesterday, I set off to make up for the missed rugby match. And I was successful! The...

... and G'day Australia

I am in a land down under, still not 6ft tall, but maybe the muscles will come.. After a short night in an eight-bed room at the airport, with someone leaving for the plane...

Farewell NZ

Yesterday was quickly reported: it was very autumnal, so cloudy and quite windy all day. The chestnuts are ripe, the leaves are starting to fall, so it's high time for me to...

Christchurch

Today I took the bus to the city center. What has shaped the city are the two major disasters, first the earthquake which destroyed large parts of the historic city center and...

From the Alps to the sea in 2.5 hours

First of all: the photos from the previous post are complete and worth it 😉 Then something else: sry, I only responded to some comments today, I didn't even think to check them...

Aoraki Mt Cook

Today I set off towards the mountains again, more precisely to Aoraki/Mt Cook Village. So to the other side of Mt Cook. Then I did a little hike in the Hooker Valley (but didn't...

Seal for breakfast

Um...not for eating, but while I was eating my breakfast granola bar, I watched seals (about 2m away 😁) One of them was also quite startled when they noticed me. Maybe I'm not...

Tag der unangenehmen Überraschungen

Nach stundenlangem Warten war es fast so weit, dass ich mich zum Spiel aufmachen konnte. Beim letzten Mal gucken, ob das Spiel auch stattfindet dann die Ernüchterung: Aufgrund...

Neuseeland aus meiner Sicht

Nicht nur wegen des Anschlags gestern, sondern auch weil bis heute Nachmittag nichts Größeres geplant ist kann ich hier mal meine Eindrücke von 2 1/2 Wochen Roadtrip durch...

Dunedin/Otago

So right away: the thumb pressing worked! Thank you very much! Firstly, the sun seems to be shining again today and I can still dry my clothes that I washed yesterday, and...

Queenstown III

First things first: I am definitely too old for an 8-bed dorm in a party hostel! It's an experience, it's doable, but some experiences only need three nights ;-) The highlight...

Queenstown II

Just yesterday, a cozy evening with Kilkenny and live music in the Irish pub... Today, the breakfast of champions: a burger from Fergburger (not only according to their own...

Queenstown I

Hello everyone, from today (not sure for how long) I am in Queenstown, the action and backpacker capital of the country. The city has only 12,000 inhabitants, but the traffic...
