South Vietnam

The only issue we had before going to Vietnam was getting the visa done on time. We’d forgotten all about it on our little break in Thailand and found ourselves in quite a rush and trouble to get our “visa on arrival” documents sorted out (read paying...

A holiday in the holiday…

After ending the first part of our trip, we thought we’d treat ourselves to a little rest in a familiar and pleasant surrounding… make that Krabi, Thailand. Or good old Railey beach to be more precise. We’d spent a week down there when we were in Thailand...

Pondicherry: A sweet taste of South India

After a really long travel, we finally arrived in Pondicherry, our last destination in India. It was a really good surprise to discover a much more relaxfull and clean atmosphere in India... here you can't see any cows (or dung) in the streets! Pondicherry...

Rafting and “roofing” it to Kathmandu…

We took the convenient option of a rafting trip between Pokhara and Kathmandu so that we could leave from one and return to the other. We weren’t to sure what to expect as the guy who sold us the trip told us it was a level IV river (you have I to VI...

Trekking in the Anapurna region

Too many long walks, too many steps… but the amazing views help you to forget the pain! We now clearly know that Trekking is not our favourite hobby (didn’t we know it before going?), and although quite rewarding at times, the only thing there is to do...

Varanasi…and the pleasure of travelling with no guide

End of our Rajasthan trip, and it’s now of on our own… the real adventure can start !! Arum (our ex driver) kindly drops us of at the station five hours before our train, so he doesn’t have to drive back to delhi in the evening… Now being experienced...

Agra: Le Taj Mahal

En arrivant dans les environs d‘Agra, on distingue tout de suite que cette ville est bien plus riche que celles que nous avons traverse auparavant, avec plusieurs centres commerciaux, écoles privées et enseignes de grandes marques… Malgré cela, nous retrouvons...

End of Rajasthan: Jaipur

Not sure if it’s because we were on the end of our trip in Rajasthan or just because it is really unpleasant, but we didn’t like this city at all. Polluted more than any other place we‘d been to (we later found out that Agra isn’t any better). But the...

Yack that !

The day started with the visit of Pushkaar, where we unexpectedly bumped into Florian, the Swiss guy we had briefly met in Jaisalmer (La Mystica restaurant). This was a nice opportunity to share what we'd been up to in the mean time around some fresh...

Rajasthan: Jodhpur (only a few random power cuts)

One of the best cities we've done so far, nicknamed the Blue City. Plenty of interesting places to visit, a buzzing market/bazaar and not too much hassle from street vendors. Apparently the Tourist Police have been quite tough on local thiefs (children...
