From biking, hiking, eating, and more. stay tuned for my adventures around the globe.
Hoi An, Vietnam
After Hue, the Imperial City, we headed to Hoi An. If Hue is full of history but otherwise a somewhat regular city, Hoi An is a tourist wonder. Its historic center is a great place for tourists to walk around, full of color and calm. The river fills with lights at night and the reflection makes a […]
Hue, Vietnam
Hue, the imperial city. We arrived at a rainy week so we didn’t enjoy it to the fullest. The citadel of the once capital of the last dynasty before french occupation isn’t well restored. It meant a lot of mud in some areas and harder to explore. Overall it was another good piece in the […]
Phong Nha, Vietnam
After cycling in Tam Coc, Vietnam around the canals and rice fields, we headed to Phong Nha with a night bus. Phong Nha is a quite little town, base to the national park of many caves, including some of the biggest caves in the world. We arrived early morning and managed to check-in early. However, our […]
Tam Coc, Vietnam
Back to the mainland, we arrived at Tam Coc, a short ride from the city of Ninh Binh. The main attraction is the view, canals and flooded rice fields surrounded by karst formations on land. Similar scenery to Cat Ba Island, but less impressive in my opinion. Our homestay was located between two karst formations, […]
Cat Ba Island, Vietnam
Calm island with lovely views We took a Bus, speed boat and another bus that brought us from Hanoi to Cat Ba Island, where we stayed 4 nights. With great weather in the forecast we booked a cruise for the next days in the nearby Lang Ha bay, twin of Ha long bay, but less […]
Hanoi, Vietnam
Hanoi old quarter and streets Landing in Hanoi started with waiting in a line that seemed enternal for the visa, but turned out not as bad. We skipped grab and decided to take a driver sitting by the airport’s entrance. He had a very small car with the emergency engine light on. We safely made […]
Buri Ram, Thailand
There are a few ancient Khmer empire archeological sites in eastern Thailand, with typical hindu temples, along the road from Angkor. We chose Phanom Rung, located on top of an inactive volcano, and Prasat Muang Tam in the valley below it. Both I found very impressive, with nice designs carved on the walls and gates. […]
Khao Yai, Thailand
Great opportunity to spot wildlife We rented a car to spot the Asian elephants that live in the park as they gather in sunset to eat soil full of minerals to complete their diet, really exciting to see elephants in nature! Just make sure to close the windows when the macaques are around or you […]
Bangkok, Thailand
Landed in Bangkok, 12/12/2022 or 2565 in Thai year count, which is a lunar version of the Buddhist calendar Ate great food and fruit of the street stalls and small unwalled restaurants Emerald buddha which is one of the most important and sacred of all them statues is actually quite tiny, but size doesn’t matter. […]
Carmel, Israel
In the margins of Carmel National Park, a 20 minute walk from Haifa or Tirat Hacarmel, lies a beautiful caved spring running with cold water all year long. An additional carved cave was made in Roman era to increase water output. Limestone characterstic of the Israeli geology reveals here many shell fossils. In the background […]
