After less than three hours of sleep my alarm clock went off and I had to get ready for today’s day trip to Fujikawaguchiko. Known for its beautiful lakes and view on mt. Fuji. I felt unexpectedly bright and energetic after this short night. Yesterday had been a long day full of impressions of Tokyo […]
Alarm clock set on 08:00. Today is all about Tokyo! We started the day with a delicious home-made breakfast and rushed our way to the metro station to be in time for the guided Tokyo Imperial Palace tour that only runs twice a day. On our way to the subway there had been to be […]
08:00 alarm clock goes off. I figured one hour to get ready and have breakfast would be enough for me, but apparently I’m a bit slower than I thought. Ten minutes before I had to leave I still had to get dressed, prepare my day pack for the hike and make some breakfast (that I […]
This morning I woke up around 09:30. I’m in the luxurious position to have the house to myself today! Even though it’s great to have my own place, it was a little bit frightening last night as well.. what if someone would enter or anything?! I knew it wasn’t going to happen, but still made […]
The first part of the day was all about sleeping. Literally! I got out of bed around 12:30pm! Wow, was I surprised. Apparently I needed a good sleep :)! After waking up I started to write my stories from the past weeks. Man, am I behind schedule! I think I can write for days in […]
After a cold night spend at the Flaming Cliffs we continued our way to the Ongi Khiid Monastery ruins, located at the Saikan Ovoo Soum mountain slope, in the Middle Gobi province. The ruins once were a big Buddhist monastery compound, housing over a thousand Buddhists monks. Unfortunately, this monastery, together with around 700 monasteries […]
After the warmest night I ever experienced (in a Mongolian Yurt of all places!) we got op quite early to continue our way to the sand dunes of Khongoriin Els. Around 09:00 am we left the Yollin Am area and by the time of 13:00 we arrived at the dunes. We first checked- in at […]
Tsagaan Suvraga and Yolyn Am Today we continued our trip to Tsagaan Suvraga, also known as ‘the white stupa’. We started around 08:10 am and by the time of 10:15 we got OFF ROAD for the first time. Super nice! We drove another 1,5 hours and reached the beautiful unique landscape of Tsagaan Suvraga. With […]
Today the great Mongolian adventure begins! We get up around 09:00 and make our way to the Zaya guesthouse where we meet Peter and Felix who are joining us on our trip. The plan is to rent a car plus driver and go on our own tour instead of an organized tour. This saves a […]
Welcome to Mongolia! After a broken night with a little sleep (just like yesterday, when sleep finally kicks in you need to wake up again) the light switch on and a speaker voice tells us were about to descend. I look outside the window and it’s super dark outside! The only thing I see is […]
