The last stop of our trip is once again Kuala Lumpur. Maike and I have fond memories of this city and we are excited to share them with the rest of the group. Thanks to our old...

It is hardly surprising that we immediately feel at home again after the extremely warm welcome. We still have the resort almost to ourselves and enjoy the peace and quiet after...

The train journey to Yogyakarta, the cultural center of Java, takes about 7 hours. Due to an error in the booking system, we are all seated in different rows in the carriage....

At a little after 9:00 am, we take a taxi to the train station. The train doesn't leave for another hour and a half, so we have enough time for any unforeseen circumstances. ...

Twenty minutes before the planned time, we land the next day full of anticipation at 7:45 am at Soekarno Hatta Airport in Jakarta. Today, our travel group gets a new addition as...

We have to check out of the 'Moorings' before breakfast because our flight with Air Vanuatu to Noumea is scheduled to leave at 9.30am. Luckily, the best bakery in town opens...

We manage to pass the time until our departure to Vanuatu quite well. In the lobby of the 'Tropic of Capricorn' there is a cozy sitting area with huge leather armchairs. We...

Our four-day interlude in Fiji is more or less a result of a flight rescheduling by the New Caledonian airline Aircalin. Originally, we had planned to spend only one night in...

Before leaving the ferry in Mulifanua, I try in vain to remove at least the windshield from the salty crust that has formed on the entire car during the crossing. Only a proper...

We had heard a lot of good things about the small South Sea dream Aitutaki. So the next morning we board a small Saab 340 of Air Rarotonga to see for ourselves. During the...

After being constantly on the move for the past three weeks, we are looking forward to taking a break and staying in one place for more than three days. Rarotonga, the main...

On Saturday we set off for Rotorua after a hearty breakfast in the late summer weather. That is the next bigger city, about 100 km north of Whakatane. Maike wants to see kiwis...

Before six in the morning, my premonition from the previous evening is confirmed. The truckers return with their prime movers and begin reconnecting with their road trains....

Still impressed from the previous day, we set off early for Kata Tjuta. It takes us about an hour to cover the approximately 50 km because we make a stop at a lookout from...

We get up early and actually manage to finish breakfast before the big insect invasion. The Toyota gets refueled one more time, and I'm glad that we haven't used too much fuel...

Because we didn't set an alarm, we only wake up when it's already getting light outside. Time-wise, that's not a problem, we have no rush. However, the fly invasion has already...

The 'Jump Inn' offers various types of rooms for travelers of all kinds. You can meet the classic, youthful work&travelers, backpackers, and well, people like us who don't...

Before departure in Perth

Of course, I'm anything but fit as we make our way to Yallingup. But with the right mixture of paracetamol and other stuff, I feel fit enough to drive. It's actually a shame...

Since we already received our visas for Australia online in December, the passport control process is relatively quick. However, we don't want to have any trouble with the...
