Monday, the last week is starting. Should I push harder or take it easy? Not a difficult decision, my infection has turned into conjunctivitis. I say goodbye to Kristine. She is...

Friday, November 28th. I booked the 3 Waterfalls tour, a bit pricey. To my surprise, it wasn't a group tour but a private motorcycle tour with just Hu and me for the whole day. He...

If I define the weather as good, I can also ride a bike. I'm trying my luck with Schrotti 2. After half an hour, a shower comes, and I have to take a break right away. The first...

About halfway through. I arrive in Hue around 5 o'clock, I had anticipated 10 o'clock. The bus drives through the city, and I could have easily gotten off there, but the driver...

The night bus ride was pleasant, but it wasn't the best. Arequipa is much bigger than I thought, located at 2235 meters altitude and 1000 km south of Lima. This means the...

Today we're going to Paracas, Freddy drove me to the bus station on his scooter. In Pisco I changed to a Colectivo and I was there. Buses and Colectivos run here very often and...

Tuesday. For 20 soles we took an Uber to the bus terminal. The ticket was bought quickly (15 soles) and after 10 minutes we set off. Transport is cheap in Peru, food and...

Day 30: Today we are heading to the largest national park in Thailand, Khao Sok. The drive in the van took forever and the driver tortured us with Thai pop music. Worse than...

Day 26: The overnight ferry was quite an experience, on the upper deck there is a dormitory with around 100 beds. 8 hours of constant rocking, it doesn't bother me much but I...

Koh Tao is a tropical island in the south of Thailand. Very small, about 6 kilometers from north to south, and known for diving. Day 19: I'm starting to forget what day of the...

Day 32. Getting up early again, we take the bus to the mountains. First stop is a local market, where the driver buys food for our trip. We have the opportunity to buy anything...

Day 29. Didn't sleep too bad. The train rolls through a green sea and gentle mountains. Took a shared taxi to the hostel and exchanged with a few other travelers. Once arrived,...
