Our morning started with a walk to the university, which was founded in 1579. Despite it was closed we were allowed to visit the historic library, founded by jesuits more than 500 years ago. We learned about the position of the Lithuanian language in the research of the roman language cluster: one of the most preserved languages! […]
At the flight towards Vilnius I sat next to a woman from Kaunas. She was keen to challenge her German skills, thus told me her view about her country: what is interesting, what to love, what not to miss. Loved her little stories, just to prepare me a bit more for the experiences the next […]
Sounds easy enough, isn’t it? Well, I knew, there was construction work at the railway towards Germany. Reason enough, to start early. Didn’t manage it quite well: stepped into the car 15 minutes late. To late to catch the first train. No worry, instead of driving to the nearest train station, I took all the […]
Wandern durchs Vogtland vom 13.10. bis 20.10. Some old news, you might say. An evenmore: in German! Nevertheless, I like to share. Probably, I will translate it at some point. For now, you have to deal with the German text. 🙂 Tag: Anreise Gleich nach der Prüfung bin ich los, immerhin erwarteten mich mindestens 7 […]
Actually, it all worked out just fine. Contacted once more our travel agency, India Someday from Evaneos. They, again, solved it all. Arranged a private car for us at a decent time. Streets, indeed, were fairly empty. We reached the airport without any trouble or blocks because of the strike. Had a quick bite and […]
After quite a trip we close our journey with some definitely! relaxing time. A homestay at the beach. Palms. Sand. Hammocks. Sun-chairs. Not much to do than chill, re-think, re-enjoy. The water is warm but too current to swim. Your legs got wiped as soon as you’re standing 2 foot in the sea. We made […]
We left Thekkady at 8 o’clock, through the cardamon mountains, along some coffee plantations. Some very nice views over the hills. After 3 hours we reached Kottayam. What a buzzeling city! After somehow 10 days nature, it was quite a shock, again. With repeatedly asking for directions, we find the right road out to Kumarakom, […]
The last breakfast at The Wind was kind of special: the day before a group of young men had arrived. When they went for breakfast, not enough seats for the other guest were available. As also plates. Or Salt. Or jam-jars. Or… Certainly a hotel with an amazing view, but internal… a bit proces improvement […]
First kind of hick up in the trip. We choose yesterday to drive today to the Chennar Wildlife Sanctuary. Next best thing beside Eravikulam National Park, which is closed. By coincident, I switched on my mobile data yesterday night – first hotel with no WiFi. Between the mails, which flooded in, I saw a mail […]
This morning, I went out early on the balcony. Enjoyed the changing morning colors, observed how domestic noises slowly took it over from the woods. Watched the sunlight fighting the morning fog. The kind of morning I like the most. Overthinking how much of real India we have seen so far (of course, leads to […]
