It has been more than two weeks that we travelled in a different way. We enjoyed the places we visited and the delicious food in the cities, but we are now very excited to get back on our bikes. Last night we stayed in a cheap hotel in Ho Chi Minh City or as the …
It’s been over two weeks since I burned myself. The wounds are healing super well and I tried to cycle a bit in between. I am very proud of my body. We took a total of three buses to travel around the country and rented a scooter in between to have more freedom and to …
We have to temporarily fill in our trip differently. It only really gets through to us when we visit a temple in Hanoi where groups of tourists go in, shoot a few photos and continue to the next stop. We always say that we are travelers and not tourists, but now we suddenly feel like a tourist …
Traveling by bicycle brings us so much. Besides discovering different cultures, feeling freedom and simply enjoying travelling, a lot is also happening inside. Sometimes you just don’t feel like cycling or having to face another mountain. Sometimes you don’t want contact with others while there is a group of people who want to invite you …
We cycle towards the border of Vietnam. We’ve only been to Laos for a short time and part of that time we’ve been sick so it’s hard to get to grips on this country but we’ve enjoyed the short time we’ve been here. The people of Laos live close to nature. They work hard but meanwhile …
Last blog ended at the ‘UXO Lao visitor center’. That morning while we were packing our things I noticed I wasn’t feeling very well and Q had a stomach ache. We briefly commented that it might be smart to stay, but we quickly waved that away. We’ve stayed in one place long enough. So when …
We have crossed the border into Laos and cycle to Houayxay where we will take the two day slow boat to Luang Prabang with a stopover in Pakbeng. It’s nice to experience a country from a different side. We sail on the Mekong River and it is beautiful. The nature around it, the large boulders …
We leave Thailand today after a month and a half of enjoying this country. Thailand has conquered a special place in our hearts and luckily we will go back to it. The last days in the country were extra special because we stayed with Tian and Nisa. They host cyclists through Warmshowers and also like …
This year Christmas and New Years were different than ever before. For Nina it was the first time she celebrated the holidays in a warmer climate. This makes it difficult to get into the Christmas mood, even though they do their best here in Thailand with beautiful decorations. Christmas is getting closer and quite frankly …
Last week we received a lot of hospitality, met interesting people and had good conversations. It helps us to understand the country better, but it is also just fun to meet people. It started when we left Chang Mai. We ended up in a beautiful area. An area where there are many coffee plantations, so …
