5-Seen-Wanderung Highlights We finally got going

5-Seen-Wanderung Highlights

We finally got going around 1 PM after waiting for the weather to clear—and it was definitely worth it! After ascending to the second lake, the fog steadily cleared, and the sun came out every so often. The trail had a lot of steep climbs, but the views made every step worth it. We decided to hike clockwise, which meant more downhill than uphill—definitely a good call!

This trail is super popular in Switzerland, and it's easy to see why. The five mountain lakes are all so different, and the views along the way are just amazing. You can find a lot of good info regarding the hike on the official website.

🌍✈ Exploring Ho-Chi-Minh-City before our flight to Japan 🇯🇵

We had a great time exploring Ho-Chi-Minh-City before our flight to Japan. This vibrant city has so much to offer but is also really crowded! There are to many scooters too. 🤯🌆

During our stay, we took a calm day trip to a local farm and were blown away by the variety of fruits growing there. It was a paradise for fruit lovers! 🍍🥭

Walking through the orchards, we appreciated the amazing nature: The fresh air, vibrant colors, and blooming flowers. 🌿🌺

Not only did we enjoy the farm's serene beauty, but we also learned a lot about sustainable farming practices and how the local community supports agriculture. 🌾✨

Kyoto - Golden Pavilion 🏯🇯🇵

Our visit coincided with an influx of school kids and fellow tourists, transforming the area into a bustling hive of activity. While the afternoon peak wasn't the ideal time to explore, we still managed to catch some captivating glimpses of the park. However, it's somewhat sad that the presence of the masses of tourists constantly pushing and shuffling along made it challenging to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. 🚶‍♀️🌿

Nonetheless, the Golden Pavilion's beauty shines through, despite the crowds. Its golden façade and tranquil surroundings offer a glimpse into Japan's rich history and cultural heritage. 🏯💛 We can only imagine how magical it must be to visit during a quieter time, allowing for a more intimate connection with this remarkable place.

🌸 Mesmerizing Kumano Kodo 🌸

At the end of our Kumano Kodo hike in Japan, we reached the Senso-Ji Temple. The fog lifted just in time, revealing a breathtaking scene captured by our drone. Risking it in light rain, we flew above the shrine, experiencing a different world. The fusion of craftsmanship and nature left us in awe. This impromptu drone adventure became one of the hike's absolute highlight.

The Kumano Kodo is a network of ancient pilgrimage

The Kumano Kodo is a network of ancient pilgrimage routes in Japan, with a history spanning over 1,000 years. The pilgrimage offers a journey through lush forests, picturesque landscapes, and culturally significant sites.

Despite two days of rain during our hike, we managed to stay somewhat dry with our trusty umbrellas ☂️ Hiking 75km in 4 days was quite the challenge, but the beauty of nature and the chance to escape the big cities, especially after Universal Studios Osaka, made it all worthwhile.
One of the most memorable aspects of our journey was staying in traditional guesthouses 🏡 Each night brought us a unique and authentic experience. The charm and warmth of these accommodations added to our adventure. Also you inevitably bumped into the same fellow hikers throughout the day.

The last stretch was pretty tough with its crazy amount of stairs and on top of that did not even have a good view on the top. However the Nachi shrine offered some good photo opportunities after the fog cleared a bit.

Trying to find things to do during the extreme hea

Trying to find things to do during the extreme heat in Thailand we went to the Grand Palace, located in the heart of Bangkok. It was the residence of the king from the 18th to the middle of the 20th century. The four different parts of the palace were so beautiful and inspiring. The architecture which is influenced by Buddhism contains many details. There is also a well known Wat due to a famous smaragd buddha.

Discovering the huge majestic area needed longer as we expected. It was so impressive that we spent too much time in the first buildings and had not a lot of energy left in the end. However, it was enough to explore the beauty of the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

On our way through the vast and very chaotic city

On our way through the vast and very chaotic city of Bangkok we were browsing various travel blogs to figure out our next sightseeing spot. Most of the afternoon the sun and heat was just too much for any exploring especially inside the city. So we were looking for a nice Sunset spot and found it with the *Wat Saket* called the Golden Mount. This is a beautiful temple with lots of bells along the staircases which are winding their way to the top.

Ta Prohm is an incredible temple close to the famo

Ta Prohm is an incredible temple close to the famous Ankor Wat. It is possible to visit several temples with the main Ankor Wat-ticket and this was definitively one worth the visit. It is located in a dschungel area and some trees grow on top of the historic temple ruins. The roots are pretty snake like with their shape when they are looking for a way down to the ground.
At the Ta Prohm Temple one of the Tomp Rider movies was filmed, witch made it pretty famous . We can totally understand why because the scenery is just stunning.

Yesterday was our first day in Cambodia and we are

Yesterday was our first day in Cambodia and we are already in love. We arrived in Siem Reap and just wandered through the bustling streets. It is a fairly small city especially coming from Bangkok but it seems to have a lot of character and you are able to meet a lot of friendly locals.
It was beautiful and magical. After some time we found an awesome ice store where we tried delicious stir fried ice cream! 😍
It was freshly made on some kind of refrigeration plate powered by a portable generator just on the side of the street and prepared with dedication just for us. 🍦

Thailand has so many incredible temples! Next to B

Thailand has so many incredible temples! Next to Bangkok in Ayutthaya are many ancient ruins left. On each corner is a new one to explore. We discovered those by bike. Ayutthaya has great bike trails and there is a ticket for tourists for several temples. The distances are short why it is easy to do even with the hot weather conditions right now.

Just after arriving in Sydney well in the evening

Just after arriving in Sydney well in the evening and stepping out of the train station in the town center we found ourselfs stunned by the nighttime cityscape of Sydney.
Bill Bryson found the perfect words in his book Down Under for descriping the feeling of stepping of the plane after such a long flight to the opposite side of the globe and finding oneself in Australia.

Currently we discover the North Island of New Zeal

Currently we discover the North Island of New Zealand. We reached Wellington a few days ago and drove in the direction to Mount Taranaki and the Elephant Rock. The North Island is more populous compared to the South Island. Our first impression is that it offers more shops, cafés and restaurants and also more areas are used for farming. Although there is still lots of nature and the landscape is stunning and diverse. For sure, it is plenty to discover. We are definitely exited about the next weeks. #newzealandtravel #nzroadtrip #newzealandnorthisland #ohawe #newzealandhighligh #discovernewzealand #explorenewzealand #nzwalks #nznature #discovertheflipside #theflipside #campingnz #nztentcamping #nzphotography #nzphotographer #nzlandscape #nzlove #nztravel

The next area we where headed towards were the wat

The next area we where headed towards were the waterfalls of Iceland's south. First we had to tacke another massive headwind along the way. We took shelter in a lovely small cafe along the road and ordered a hot chocolate and a date cake with toffee topping, that got us going again.
After struggling to keep the bike straight for another few kilometres we managed to reach the #seljalandsfoss and #skogafoss just in time for the weather to clear.

Reaching the last stop for the day we decided to take the short walk to the top of the Skogafoss and I would recommend it. We where even able to see the glaciers in the distance as well 🗻

Trying to escape the Highlands – Bikepacking Icela

Trying to escape the Highlands - Bikepacking Iceland

After our short and a bit lonely stay in a ten bunk bed mountain hut somewhere in the remote landscape of iceland we where keen to get back on the bikes. Our plan was to head straight down south in search of better weather and easier riding at the coast. However we would still need to tackle a full day of riding through some very challenging and remote roads to reach the paved asphalt of the #ringroad

Last week we spent a day in the Blue Mountains Nat

Last week we spent a day in the Blue Mountains National Park. We hiked to the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls. The weather and hike were sooo beautiful and the park is definitely worth a visit. It is about one hour and a half from Sydney and easily accessible by train from the city center. Watch our short clip for inspiration. #bluemountains #bluemountainsnationalpark #threesisters #katoombafalls #katoombabluemountains #hikinginaustralia #tripfromsydney #sydneytobluemountains #australianature #australianaturelove #sunnyweather #daytripaustralia #australiabytrain #newsouthwales #australia #discovertheflipside #theflipside #travelinaustralia #travelers
