From China to Sweden (with love)

Yokohama - Tokyo’s “undermined” neighbour - is our destination today. The metropolis is so big, officials apparently are struggling to tell where Tokyo ends and Yokohama starts. Yokohama is not another big city, shadowed by its older sister’s reputation....

Queenstown

So we check-in in a real camping. Let’s face it, we need water, we need to charge our camera and laptop…and we need a good shower! We’ve always preferred to do camping in the wild, so organized camps are not our thing. But hey, we have to try it especially...

Oaxaca to Zacatecas

During our travels, we rarely stay so long in a capital, let alone in a laid back city. But truth be told, Oaxaca is no usual city, it charmed us and made lots of promises, all of them fulfilled, except perhaps for the ‘mole’, the magic sauce that accompanies...

Bhaktapur
