Travelogues Vietnam

I had slept for 10 hours at night and thus overcame my jet lag relatively well. After breakfast, I went out to explore the city. My hostel was in the middle of downtown, so I...

After a long flight with a layover in Dubai, we arrived in Hanoi feeling completely exhausted. It's 35 degrees here, but feels like 42 degrees, and you're already drenched in...

After a good night's sleep, we went back to the courtyard terrace for breakfast the next morning. We sat there with Simon, a German guy we had met the previous night. He arrived...

Then I continued south to Nha Trang by sleeping bus. Another approximately 12-hour night bus ride. I arrived very early in the morning in the big city. I didn't actually want to...

My next stop was Ninh Binh, or rather Trang An, a small village near Ninh Binh. Here too, there are huge limestone cliffs. Only on land and not in the water. And rice fields, so...

We learn about Vietnam's history and diversity in their second largest city.

The region and landscape around Ninh Binh is also called Halong Bay on Land. And indeed, the rocks there look similar to those I saw in the bay and the impression was enhanced...

In the morning after the bizarre arrival night, it was time to explore the highly recommended and supposedly beautiful Hoi An. So I leisurely strolled through the old town...

On Sunday, we took the train from Ninh Binh to Hanoi. I really wanted to take another train ride and especially visit Hanoi. But I will write a separate story about Hanoi...

As we wanted to head towards the Mekong River today, we got up a bit earlier, as the place we wanted to visit was about two and a half hours outside of Saigon. Once we arrived...

In Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), we stay briefly, explore the city, shop at Ben Thanh Market, and visit the nearby Cu Chi Tunnels.

The 'Dry Halong Bay'

In Hue, which was Vietnam's capital from 1802 to 1945, there is a lot to see. On my first day, I spent a whopping four hours exploring the old 'Forbidden City'. However, because...

Ho Chi Minh City is named after the revolutionary leader who led North Vietnam to victory against the Americans. The city is totally different from Hanoi. It is more modern and,...

Let's go off the beaten tourist path to Halong Bay. The bus was supposed to pick us up from our hostel at 13:15, umm yes, 13:15 turned into 14:45. We're in Vietnam, so it's no...

With our newly purchased bikes, we set off to the north of Vietnam a day after Rahel's birthday. First, we had to ride for an hour to escape the infamous traffic of Hanoi. As...

Today's journey took us to two amazing viewpoints on the way to Hue. One is the view of Danang Beach and the other is the view of Lang Co Lagoon. We...

Nha Trang beach promenade

Monday, 19.2.2018 At some point, the noise ends (amusement park right next to the hotel) and I can hear the sound of the sea. Really beautiful. After an early breakfast with a...

Monday, 12th February 2018 After breakfast, we drive out of the city for about an hour. We have the bus and the small truck that transports the bicycles. The bus serves as the...

Sunday, 11.2.2018 Tight schedule: breakfast at 6:30am and bus departure at 7:30am. We go to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. It opens at 8am and when we approach by bus, people are...

Yesterday (05.02.18) we took the bus from Dalat to Mui Ne. It was another adventurous ride. 4 hours with a crazy bus driver through the mountain road. Sometimes the road simply...

Sometimes it's really convenient to be tall, sometimes not. All of you "tall" people will confirm this to me. Now, with my approximately 1.85 meters, I am by no means one of the...

07/11/17 - 12/11/17 Here shopping was first on the agenda. What unexpectedly took two whole days 😀 We ran around the huge market for 5 hours a day, which was almost impossible...

Impressive nature and an interesting rowing technique

An excursion slightly outside Hanoi.

Wenns nicht regnet, hat man hier eine wunderschöne Bergwelt mit Reisterrassen zu bestaunen

Ein Spaziergang durch Hanoi

Hoi An... how I fell in love with you!!!! Even our homestay enchanted us and we felt at home. We spent 3 nights in Hoi An on a shrimp farm a little away from the center of Hoi...

After the wonderful Mekong Delta, we took the night bus for an 8-hour journey to the small mountain town Da Lat. Arriving early in the morning, we checked into our homestay. The...
