Back to Europe

Tomorrow, the 19th of November, 15 months and one day after I left Vienna, I will fly back to Europe. Quite a lot of time has passed since my last post here. This seems to happen to many travellers. My last post is from Shangrila in Yunnan. Since then I cycled into Sichuan on beautiful […]

One month china

Yesterday I got my first extension of my chinese visa. Although this being good news it made me reflect how far or better not far I got in this month. So I counted the days I have been on my bicycle this month. It was exactly 4 days of normal cycling plus a few shorter […]

Sabadee and Nihao

I am in Kunming, Yunnan, China. Yesterday in the morning (about 5am Beijing time) I arrived by bus from Luang Prabang, Laos. Yes, I had to take the bus to get here because I do not yet feel completley fine after the accident I had Sunday last week. The accident happend on the last of […]

Bangkok to Laos

On Monday I got to Bangkok by plane and spent two days there using for the first time Warmshowers. Jon, the cyclist at whose place I stayed, was very nice. Yesterday evening I took the sleeper train to Nong Khai and today I crossed the border to Laos. Both Thailand and Laos are totally different […]

Nepal and the long way home

I have been neglecting my blog now for quite a while. I even got mail asking where I am. Well, till the 25. of June I will be in Kathmandu, Nepal. The last weeks have been crazy and sometimes frustrating because I had to change and replan my journey way too often. My original plan […]

Last pictures of India ?

Today I managed to upload all the pictures I have taken in India from the temple in Halebid in Karnataka to the (erotic) temples in Khajuraho. From Delhi, where I am now, I will take the train today to Gorakhpur and on Saturday I should be able to cross the border into Nepal.

Halebid – Hampi – Badami – Bijapur – Aurangabad – Jalgon – Bhopal – Sanchi – Andaman Island

I spent 18 days have on the Andaman Island Havelock. I dived four days and cycled (indian single speed bike) to different beaches on the island. Most of the time though, I have spent it lying on the beach, swiming and eating (good continental style food!). Since my last post from Halebid, Karnataka, I got […]

Birthday on Andaman Island

Since a few days I am now on Havelock Island which is part of the Andaman Island. It is really great here and I can recover from mainland India and plan the next stages of my trip.

Hampi, Badami

Just a short update: On the 27th of February I finally reached Hampi. I stayed there for quite a while because India and its disgusting food had exhausted me. Yesterday I arrived in Badami after and adventurous journey by bicycle and lorry. The day after tomorrow I will go on to Bijapur and Ellora mostly […]
