Our trip around the world
So, what are the news?
It’s Africa Time!
[Wait until the text loads...] [Further waiting for unspecified reasons] Hello, here we g... [Wait again] ...go! Welcome to Kenya. Everything takes a little longer in Africa. We were completely unprepared as we associated Kenya primarily with the dense mass of world-class marathon runners, whose times are definitely not the same as those of the local bus network. Our first day in Africa was devoted to arrival and acclimatisation. This went surprisingly well in certain respects. After India, we praised the modernity of the cars, roads and shops (which shows that we had probably spent far too long in India). Payment is mainly digital...
How to (not) celebrate Holi in Varanasi
With a slight delay, our train stopped in Varanasi the day before the Holi festival. Our German friends Michelle and Bastian had also arrived at the hostel five minutes before, and we wanted to team up with them to survive the following day. Holi - a colourful festival where society comes together and respectfully throws colours into the air for some lesser-known cultural reason with peace, joy and happiness. Peace, joy and happiness? Fiddlesticks. That's perhaps how the uninitiated would describe the German New Year's Eve - until you stand on the cathedral square in Cologne and run the gauntlet of firecrackers and rockets. We were aware that Holi in India doesn't have the best...
India's other ‘Golden Triangle’
For five weeks now, we have been travelling all over India, this fascinating, noisy and crazy subcontinent. India - it brings to mind the mighty Taj Mahal, unimaginable crowds in Delhi, traffic chaos at ordinary crossroads, the lavish and legendary palaces in Jaipur, the always friendly delivery boy from the ‘Indian’ next door (Swaad in Müngersdorf, we won't forget you), perhaps also images of overcrowded trains. Probably the most famous tourist route is the so-called Golden Triangle, which connects Delhi, Jaipur and Agra (Taj Mahal). This is also where we spotted the most western tourists (wearing shorts and crop tops, of course)...
Our vlog from the other side of the world
We have now travelled halfway around the world, always within reach of our cameras and smartphones to capture the best moments for our future. We are now on part 22 of our world travel vlog and are spending the Christmas period in Melbourne. We enjoy watching our experiences and the recording and editing gives us the opportunity to reflect on our experiences. The only thing we still disagree on is the lighting and angle settings for the sit-down videos. 😅 This last video is the longest so far (and therefore probably the most long-winded). Okay, it also summarises three weeks. While proof watching, we...
