The Great Ocean Road

We travelled another few thousand km and visited yet another place of The 1000 Places to See Before You Die: The Great Ocean Road in southern Australia. I thought we would be able to travel along the Great Ocean Road in a few hours, since it is only 260km long. I was wrong.

Overall we spent 3 days along the Great Ocean Road and could have easily spent another 3 weeks in the area. We were a bit limited since we aren’t allowed to travel far on gravel roads and our campervan is not a 4 wheel drive, but even the things we were able to see were absolutely breathtaking.   Read more »

The famous opera house

We are in Australia. I can’t believe it. And we are up to 47 places out of the 1000 Places To See Before You Die. This one is the Sydney Opera House and the Harbor. As you might be used to by now, I will give you a short review of this place. And you will like the pictures. I promise.

Before we went out to see the city of Sydney, we spent a few days in the outer suburbs of Sydney where we booked a room through AirBnB in a private house. We had to kill some time before we get our campervan on 1st May. Read more »

Sorry, We´re Open – Our best experiences in Asia

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Raffael
Sorry, we're open

Open or closed, the level of service is same, same

There are certain things, you can only find in Asia. Now that we have left Asia for Australia, it is time to reflect and share our best experiences with you. The best way to do that is by sharing the pictures with you.

If you have been following our blog for the last few months, you might recognize one picture or the other. But I really can’t see them often enough. They make me smile every single time.

Yeah, I know making fun of people not being able to speel coretly is unkul. I don’t care. It is so funny. I hope you “in joy” our pictures of the chicken friend, the tripical rain forest and the mice tours as much as we do.

We even got a little “Schmankerl” for our friends from Stuttgart. Read more »

After we spent more than 3 months here on Koh Tao, I think it is time that I finally introduce you to the island that made us change our travelling plans. We already planned to stay here 8 weeks so I could become a DiveMaster. This island, however, has the strange effect on people that once they come here, they stay much longer, don’t want to leave and at some point, they will come back.

We spent 14 weeks on the beautiful island that is Koh Tao instead of just the previously planned 8 and there is a reason for it. If you want to know those reasons, you should continue reading. Read more »
