The Far South

Me voila sur le point de passer ma dernière nuit en Thailande, je rentre demain soir ! Evidemment du mal à croire que c’est fini, du mal à croire aussi que j’ai vécu et vu tant de trucs en s…

Me voici sur le point de quitter le Camboge aprés 10 jours fantastiques. C’est aussi quasiment la fin de mon voyage, deux semaines en Thailande et retour au bercail. Je n’ai plus vraiment en…

2 jours à Saigon et trois dans le delta du Mekong avant de passer au Cambodge. Si le nord vaut le coup pour les paysages et le centre pour la culture, le sud lui n'a pas grand chose ! S…

10h de train de nuit pour descendre dans le centre du pays avec un premier stop de 2 jours au parc naturel classé par l’Unesco de Phong Nha Ke Bang. La encore jolis paysages typiques du nord…

Afin de feter la défaite de Sarko et vu que je ne suis plus en pays anglophone, je vais finir ce blog en français, se sera plus reposant! (queridos amigos hispanofonos, lo siento pero a part…

So leaving Bali for the Gilis, 3 tiny paradisiac islands close to Lombok (the main island east of Bali). The scenario was supposed to be perfect...white sandy beaches, corals for snorkelling…

As an introduction I will start with a few facts like a short “Bali for dummies”: So Bali is actually a small island of the Indonesian archipelago, with about 3,5 millions people (but the is…

Everything comes to an end, and here I am in my last step in Australia, Darwin and the far north. It is quite an ininteresting town and I came here only to visit the biggest national park in…

I’m going more and more lazy (maybe just adapting to Aussie lifestyle “buddy” ), so I’ll just make you a resume of my week in Sydney. I’ve seen : Sydney Harbour with the bridge and the Opera…

Today I just feel tired of writing so quickly here are the pics of my 3 days trip (in an organized tour from Alice Springs to save time and money) to the so called "red centre" of …

So I finally made the hitchiking in a day to Adelaide, thanks to 4 aussie “red necks” the kind of old car and tuning freaks...I cut the details, but they were nice. Then two cool days in Ade…

Here I am, ready for my first “outback” adventure, in a camping called “Grampians Paradise” owned by Aidan and it’s funny recomposed family. So the Grampians are indeed a mountain range, con…

Australia was a teenager dream, and here I am finally Down Under, more than 15 years after ...so pretty excited ! My first destination here is then Melbourne. It’s supposed to be the most Eu…

I don´t know if there’s a paradise in the sky, but now I know for sure there is one on Earth. It’s only very very far away from home (actually that’s probably the furthest country from Europ…

So now in the South Island for 2 weeks. Starting with renting a car, for five days, to go faster and see the west coast. First stop was the northen shore with Golden Bay and the Abel Tasman …

Just a week to visit half of New Zealand, yes it's short. So I focused on a few specific points...first the Coromandel Peninsula (which is accesible by ferry from Auckland, so nice trip…

Already a week in the North island of New Zealand, times goes faster down under ! (and yes indeed since a day here is equivalent at 2 days in patagonia, 3 in Buenos aires or five in Bolivia …

Mi ultima semana en America Latina fue para Chile...bueno para la zona de Puerto Varas (region de los lagos) y de Santiago mas bien (con un dia en Valparaiso). Asi que de este pais extraño p…

Como muchos, me imaginaba la Patagonia como nos la venden en los reportajes y revistas de viaje...una especie de Alaska del sur, con glaciares increíbles, montañas majestuosas, espacios gran…

So after an unexpected very nice Christmas in BA thanks to Marcus, I finally left the town to go on with my journey...this time far more to the South, to the very end even, since I flew to U…

Ya me quedan pocos dias en Buenos Aires, y es el tiempo de hacer un balance sobre mi estancia aca. Quería pasar mucho tiempo aqui para conocer mejor esta ciudad, y experimentar un poco lo qu…

After so much time in a big city I needed a "green" break. And for that the Iguazu Falls were the perfect spot! I guess everybody has already heard about this gigantic falls on the…

Despues de ya mas de un mes aca, me dio tiempo de explorar mejor la ciudad y sus distintos barrios. Como os dije vivo en el centro, aqui lo llaman MICROCENTRO, es una zona que incluye los ce…

After another transportation trouble, I finally changed my plans and arrived by train in Tupiza in the south of Bolivia. That's a nice place, once again really different from the rest o…

Finally in Rurrenabaque, I took a day to have a rest, and enjoy this really lovely, clean and well organized village (yes I couldn't think I was still in Bolivia). I found an agency for…

With Brice (de NY, not de Nice), we decided to have some "fun" by doing the Death Road on bike. It's the former road between La Paz and Coroico, from 4700m to 1100m height, 50…

Ya , despeuse de tres semanas en Peru, tocaba cambiar de aire, o casi, ya que pasé por Bolivia por el Titicaca, y es mas del mismo, salvo que visité esta vez una isala (del SOl), muy bonita,…

Another trip in bus (this time just 6 hours, daylight, and beautfil volcanic landscapes) to go Puno on the Titicaca bank. It's probably the ugliest town I've ever seen! almost 90% …

I spent two days (really enough) to visit Arequipa, the second largest city of Pery, in the South, at the feet of two huge volcanos (around 600m high). It's a nice colonial town called …

The Inca trail is a 4 days trek between mountains and rainforest to access to the Macchu Picchu. It's impossible to do it on your own and mandatory to book it many weeks before with an …
