My wife keeps going on about the beauty of Turkeys coast and its beaches; so this year was the time to check it out. With a rental car we planned a route alongside the Aegan coast from Bodrum to Kaş at the Mediterranean sea. First stop was Fethiye , probably the most touristy part of the trip. Fethiye is a small town with a marina from where boat trips to the whole region depart (12 island tours). The town centre is full of shops, souvenirs, handicraft and jewelry; the part we really enjoyed was the fish market, where we bought the catch of the day and let one of the surrounding restaurants prepare it; as starters you can enjoy the so-called meze , small portions of seafood, Joghurt-based dips, vegetables and cheeses. It usually goes with Rakı (strong anis-based beverage), and leads to a keyifli (cheerful) evening with music. The next day we explored the bay by boat and visited places with exotic names such as Tarzan bay, Aquarium bay or Sovalye Island. The high season ...
If we believed some weeks ago that Ecuador didn‘t make it easy for us to leave, crossing borders in Bolivia (in and out of the country!) was another level; at least for one of us and of course, this story is not about the almighty German passport.. Since Peru and Bolivia share access to Lago Titicaca, naturally we needed to cross the border at some point. The bus driver in Puno already questioned Diana about her visa, but we had read up on a visa for Bolivia could be retrieved on arrival for Romanian citizens.. and so is the case, unfortunately not without hiccups and hassle. The border control needed a full itinerary, confirmation of hotels, flights and an exit ticket, plus two passport photos - all in printed paper version. Luckily, there is a small shack at the border crossing that offers to take passport photos and printing services; so it could resp. should have been easy to arrange. The elderly guy working there preferred to exchange money with all other tourists first, only to t...
We landed in Nairobi at 6am, bleary-eyed but buzzing with anticipation. After a quick briefing with our tour operator and a much-needed coffee, we were already on the way to the Maasai Mara - the starting point of our safari marathon through Kenya and Tanzania. The first stretch was easy until the tarmac ended and the “African massage” began: hours of bumpy dirt tracks that made naps an extreme sport. The reward? Our first zebras, antelopes, and giraffes - and soon after, a herd of elephants. Just like that, the adventure had begun. By sunset, we’d already seen four of the Big Five - lions, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo, with only the leopard missing. Hyenas, ostriches, and gazelles filled the gaps, and we learned that “Mara” means “dotted” - referring to the spotted animals and the scattered acacia trees. Lions, we discovered, also enjoy shade from tourist jeeps. After a long day of game drives, we rounded things off with a visit to a Maasai village - interesting, if a bit...
