Can Tho
31.03-02.04. We're on the mainland of Vietnam now, in the center of the Mekong Delta. On our trip from Phu Quoc to Can Tho we cruise through the countryside. Rice paddies until the horizon and beautiful flowers along the small roads, which make it really challenging for our very!!! local and old bus...
Phu Quoc - Vietnam
Hello there! Just to keep you a little bit up to date about our latest location: We are on Phu Quoc, an island in front of the border between Cambodia and Vietnam. On Easter Sunday we headed from Sihanoukville (in the south of the Cambodian west coast) to Ha Tien at the Vietnamese border. Our Easter...
Sihanoukville/Otres Beach 2
21.03.-27.03.2016 As we didn't want to stay longer in Battambang due to the heat there, we decided to escape the cities and went straight to the beach of Sihanoukville. We had booked a room in advance because we knew that we'd have a late arrival, and yes it tool us more than 12hours to get from Bat...
Battambang
19./20.03.2016 After some overwhelming, inspiring and exhausting days at Siem Reap, we headed a little bit south to Battambang, a small town next to a river and with an old quarter with French architecture. We arrived at lunch time and were just exhaustet of the crazy heat in that town! It had aroun...
Koh Lanta
07.03.-13.03.2016 After we had breakfast in Hogwarts, we got picked up by a minivan which brought us the pier, where our ferry to Koh Lanta was waiting. As always, we had to wait around 30min for boarding and then another 30min until we left the pier, heading along the west coast of Thailand to Koh...
Krabi
The trip from Koh Tao to Krabi was very nice! We first went from Koh Tao to Koh Samui Catamaran, switched the Catamaran there and went on from Koh Samui via Koh Phangan to the mainland. From there we went to our hostel in Krabi, called Hogwarts Hostel. Yes, Hogwarts like the Hogwarts in Harry Potter...
Koh Tao
Koh Tao! Well let me think where to start...We arrived from Bangkok via night train and Catamaran. The night train was very good compared to all our other transport. We started in Bangkok at 7pm and like always we were sourrounded by Germans, to friends from Cologne and two students from Karlsruhe,...
Bangkok II
Here we are again in Bangkok for the second time! The flight from Chiang Rai to Bangkok took us about 1 hour and thats definitely way faster than with the bus or train. Since we liked very well the Siamaze Hostel the last time we decided to go there again! Overall, our time in Bangkok was relaxing a...
Chiang Rai
We stayed two nights in a really nice hostel called Mercy in Chiang Rai. We arrived after a long busride from Luang Prabang, which was compared to the arrival in Luang Prabang very comfortable. In Chiang Rai we visited the White Temple, which is really impressive. It was build some years ago and is...
Luang Prabang
The way from Pai to Luang Prabang is a 2 daytrip. First we were brought by a 9 hour Minivan-ride from Pai to a city next the Thai-Laos border. The accommodation we stayed in was already included in the ticket price, so it was really simple, a little bit dirty but as well prepared travellers we have...
Pai
We should be picked up at our Hostel in Chiang Mai at 10.00, but since the car was broken we started at 12.00 pm with a two hour delay. First we were brought with a pick-up to the bus station in Chiang Mai, where we had to switch to a Minivan. It took us about 3 hours to get from Chiang Mai to Pai....
Chiang Mai
As we said, we arrived quiet early in Chiang Mai and we did not have an accommodation yet. We already had one hostel in mind but they we completely booked, so were walking around in Chiang Mai for at least 90min. to find an accommodation. Since it was Chinese New Year’s Eve, everything was fully boo...
Bangkok
We still love to snooze in the morning, so it is sometimes hard to get out of bed. After finally making it out of the bed, we went to the breakfast. We loved having toast, jam and egg again for breakfast and no more rice and curry. With at least 5 toasts in our stomach, we went to Bangkok city to ou...
Colombo - Bangkok
Sawaddee ka! We've arrived in the second country of our travel route. Our flight departed at 1:50 AM but we were at the airport at 7PM and weren't allowed to check in our baggage until three hours before our boarding... So we bought some food and sat down in a "more quiet" corner of the airport (act...
Hikkaduwa - Galle
Day 11: The bus ride from Mirissa to Hikkaduwa was like the other. Always hoping you will not hit any other car, Tuk-Tuk or Scooter driver, since road since do not count. After a 1,5h bus ride we finally arrived in Hikkaduwa and went to our homestay. We are just a 5 min. walk away from the beach and...
Tangalle - Mirissa
Day 9-10: Tangalle – Mirissa Sunjit, the driver of Karin had to go to the market to get some fresh vegetables, fruits and fish so he took us with him to the bus station in Tangalle. There we took the bus to Colombo, which drives along the whole coast. The bus was full and we had to put our bags in t...
Haputhale - Tangalle
01.02. Haputhale - Tangalle Our night was very cold again but the breakfast with a panoramic view was a good apology for the inconveniences. The public bus station was right in front of our accommodation so we just had to pack our bags and wait for the bus…and he was on time. Taking public busses is...
Nuwara Eliya - Haputhale
31.01. Nuwara Eliya – Haputhale We were beginning the day with packing our bag packs after a very cold night in our nest. Our breakfast was served on our own balcony, including some of the local tea. (Obviously, the locals don’t drink much tea or they like it very strong – we had some problems drink...
Kandy - Nuwara Eliya

Kandy – Nuwara Eliya This is our fifth day in Sri Lanka and we’re starting to love the public transport as...
Kandy
After some intensive travel days we wanted to calm down a little bit and stayed in the city. After breakfast in a local bakery we visited the tooth temple next to the lake in Kandy. We walked around the city and found a beautiful hotel called THE EMPIRE. It was again an old colonial hotel but renewe...
Kandy - Dambulla - Sigiriya/Pidurangala
Today, we wanted to go hiking on one of the most famous “mountains” in Sri Lanka. Actually it is a big stone called Sigiriya, which has been used as a hiding place for a former king. Only the hike costs 25$ and we read and heard that it was really touristic and crowded. In our travel guide the autho...
Negombo - Colombo Fort - Kandy
After a good night under the mozzie net, we started our day early at 7AM. On our balcony we did some yoga practice before we got our breakfast on the big hotel balcony. The staff organized our pick up to the bus station in Negombo. From there we intended to take the public bus to Colombo-Fort where...
Colombo - Negombo
Da wir im nächsten halben Jahr relativ viel in Englisch kommunizieren werden, haben wir uns dazu entschieden, unsere Beiträge in Englisch zu verfassen (Bei Rückfragen stehen wir euch gerne auch in Deutsch zur Verfügung) ;) The early bird catches the worm,...or the public bus. After we started our jo...
