Today we started our overnight trip into the Okavango Delta – the world’s biggest inland delta. Mokoros (local dug-out canoes) brought us to an island in the delta, where we were setting up camp.
Today was a long driving day – all the way up to Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta – on the way passing through the Kalahari Desert.
Here I was – Johannesburg, 5 o’clock in the morning in a hostel – waiting for the start of my tour through Southern Africa.
Finally at 05:45 Stephan, our guide, driver and cook, arrived – and off we went into a new adventure – on this first day leaving South Africa into Botswana – to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary.
Today saw us heading out for Segovia – a world heritage city about two hours from Madrid. Highlight of town certainly is the Roman aqueduct, plus the Gothic cathedral and the alcazar / castle.

Today was the last night of the tour – we ended up in a restaurant around the corner of the hotel. After dinner we went to what turned out to be the most expensive, most scenic – yet best cocktail of the whole trip. We had that one in the rooftop bar of the Banyon Tree Hotel – on the 62nd floor. An amazing way to say good-bye to Thailand.
Today we were heading out for Erawan Falls, which included the opportunity for having a swim in and under the (second level of the)waterfall.
From Ayutthaya we continued to Kanchanaburi – home of the (in-)famous bridge over the river Kwai.
We did a short tour, visiting the JEATH War Museum, as well as the war cemetery – to arrive at the bridge just in time for the sunset. Samlors (bike rickshaws) were our transportation of choice for this tour – including a quick try by ourselves.

We now had a two day trip on a rice barge ahead of us. We boarded the rice barge in the early afternoon of the 12th and left Ayutthaya by boat – slowly moving down (or even up?) the river, … Continue reading
