Enjoy the journey

So we exited New South Wales and entered Victoria. The area we were in is called Gippsland, that’s why this post is called Gippsland Victoria started with a relatively long way without any major cities. We had about 240km in front of us without any big supermarkets and so we packed our trailers with food …

Wilsons Prom was in the middle of our way from New South Wales to the Great Ocean Road and promised to be very beautiful, but not quite suited to bike there and back with a trailer, so we searched for a place in Yanakie where we could stay for 2 nights and bike Wilsons Prom …

Hello Australia. 3. – 9.4 Sydney We arrived in Sydney and all we noticed were the ridiculous high prices. Luckily we found a place to couchsurf for 2 nights with Danka, which was very nice and gave us some comfort. We started organising, e.g. we searched for bikes, trailers, a tent, mattresses, sim cards etc. …

Many people advised us to see Pokhara in Nepal, and before we would leave, we definitely wanted to see it. Pokhara is a nice town at a beautiful lake from where you can have stunning views on the Anapurna massive (8000m+), and from where you can start your Anapurna trek. It just so occured that …

We had a few very nice days before, during and after Holi in Kathmandu. We went out and had very good breakfast, some belgian fries, coffee and dinner. We met André again (a Brazilian guy we met in the mountains) and he showed us a place called “Café Revolution”, where you get a nice starter, …

We heard about Holi one day before, when people told us their shop would be closed the next day to prevent the colour from getting in. We didn’t know what to expect, but we sure wanted to experience this ‘Festival of colours’. We were even thinking of getting some cheap old clothes, but lazy as …

From Namche Bazar we decided not to walk to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu, but instead to walk to Jiri and take a bus from there. On the first day, we met the very nice people from the lodge in Phakding again and had lunch there. After we walked all the way to Lukla, …

After having survived 2 passes (Kongma La and Cho La) already, we were not really afraid to go over the 3rd and last one. We started from Gokyo at around 7 in the morning and had a good time walking up the pass. Our pace was better now than it was when we started walking, …

Sunrise time! We started our day at 3:40 in our lodge in Gokyo, wearing thermal underwear, 2 pair of socks, 2 pair of gloves, 2 fleece layers, gaitors and down jackets.. We walked up Gokyo Ri to see the sun rise at the top. Despite all the clothing, it was not too warm, and our …

Hemant had decided not to walk over Renjo La with us, because he wanted to be with his wife before going to Everest for 2-3 months. Because we were alone again we didn’t put up any alarm and decided to do nothing the day after we arrived. Of course, it came different. Malte woke up …
