Safari Marathon - From Maasai Mara to the Serengeti Plains

-
Image
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...

Camino Portugues - Stripped Down to the Essentials

-
Image
After years of flirting with the idea, a couple of weeks deciding on the route, and a few days of - loosely - preparing, the day had come to finally embark on the Camino Portugués.  The alarm went off at 4:30 a.m. 😴 Excitement and a touch of fear made sleep elusive. A quick ride to the airport, a short nap on the plane, and by 8:45 a.m. I found myself in sunny Porto - the perfect welcome to lighten my mood. At the Sé Catedral I picked up my Camino credentials, followed my first yellow arrows, and rewarded myself with a warm pastel de nata and a cachorrinho (local hotdog) recommended by my Uber driver. Too tired for the city crowds, I hopped on an early train to Vila Praia de Âncora - my chosen starting point. An evening by the beach, early dinner, and quiet time at the hotel helped me feel mentally prepared, physically overpacked 😂, and ready for whatever lay ahead. Day 1 – 28 km / 6 h 10 min I left at 8:30 a.m., the sun already rising over the rugged coast. The signs were...

From Bodrum to Kaş - South-West Coast of Turkey

-
Image
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 ...
