In this blog post, we start from Kampala and travel west through Lake Mburo and Lake Bunyonyi to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. We’ll discover the road conditions in Uganda (not so good), the wildlife (very good) and come to know a bit more about the culture and everyday life.
After Tanzania, we went back to Kenya, partly for lack of other destinations and partly because we were curious about what else Kenya has to offer. Come with us to discover more of Kenya - from the relaxing coast to the legendary Tsavo National Park up to the Ugandan border.
More than three weeks in Egypt are enough for us and after the cultural overload, we were longing for some distraction. Checking possible destinations south to Egypt it turned out that Kenya is the next possible one. Sudan is too unstable, Ethiopia just started off a civil war and Somalia is obviously also off the table. So we organized a PCR test in Cairo and got on a plane straight to Kenya. Straight? Well, that would have been too easy. Of course, we only found a connection through the United Arab Emirates with a stop in the middle of the…
This travel blog takes you through Egypt with all its glorious sites. From Cairo to Alexandria, Hurghada, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel.
Our adventure across Turkey starts in the nowhere-land that represents the southern Greece-Turkish border. In this blog post we'll travel as far as Ankara and discover on the way lovely cities such as Iznik, Bursa or Eskisehir. One of the highlights is the Uludag National Park.
In the course of three weeks, we explored Greece. We were delighted that Greece still boasts of a lot of untouched nature, making it an awesome destination for exploring off the beaten path.
We decided to continue our travel through Italy in order to get east. To make Italy more adventurous, we have chosen less travelled roads and national parks.
Soon after the ferry to Spain we made our way to Portugal. Even during this difficult travel time, Portugal has stayed open and found a good compromise between safety precautions and enabling tourism. Having already visited Porto and Lissbon, we were excited to see more of Portugal and explore its coast. ALGARVE Although many places in the Algarve are touristic there are still a few remote beaches and with COVID going on we were lucky to experience fewer tourists as usual. Our trip through the Algarve started on July 8. After a quick visit to Tavira, we drove on to…
Hundred Days. TWO-THOUSAND-FOUR-HUNDRED hours. That’s how long we’ve now been stuck in this campground in Marrakech. If all goes well, we will not stick around much longer, so we thought it's time to start blogging again. CAMP LIFE SINCE OUR LAST POST Over the last weeks, we led a regular life on the campground with all its ups and downs. Across language barriers and age gaps we formed new friendships and despite some repetition in the conversational topics (weather and lockdown rumours are high on the list), we had some great days and evenings. Most of the time we kept…
This week consisted of fixing our first problem (tires) and then being caught in the global pandemic of COVID-19. We arrived Sunday afternoon in Marrakech and except for supermarkets and hospitals (we’ll come to that later), we have not yet seen much of the city.
This week took us back in time, brought us to the deserts, and tested our skills at tire changing. Crossing Morocco has been a great pleasure and we're not done yet.
After a hectic week of moving all our belongings to our parents we managed to start our journey on Monday. We drive from Switzerland all the way to Spain.
