We left California behind and by accident ended up on the legendary Route 66. In Arizona we stayed on a campsite in State Park Homolovi, an empty place in the middle of nowhere and a meteor crater over 1 kilometer in diameter. The ruins of Hopi indians’ settlements left us wanting to learn more. They […]
We were not sure if our plan to go camping while in the US will work, so we kept our plans only high level – a loop over the national parks of Arizona, Utah, Nevada and back again to California. Then north along the coast through San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver. With an option to […]
A very long flight with a stopover in Honolulu is behind us. US was never on my bucket list. Even more… I was saying I will never go there as long as there will be visa requirement for us. Nevertheless, when a time came, I submitted my visa application and got a nice sticker in […]
It was the longest stay in one place during our 9 months of travel so far. And for the first time I did not want to leave. We were either climbing nearby mountains or diving (sharks, mantas, turtles and tons of fish) with one break to visit the local cultural center. I was afraid this […]
I remember sitting in one of the travel-themed pubs in Warsaw and listening to a story about volcanoes in Indonesia. Never ever would I though then that the volcanoes will be haunting us in this trip. Just before leaving Poland, Mt Agung on Bali woke up and scared tourists to the point of many airlines […]
Still the US remains the most exotic of countries we visited in this trip. The crisis grows like the level of lava on the nearby island’s volcano and I think I would never come here for holiday from Poland. It keeps raining and I do not want to see anything, even though I am sure […]
It is raining today on Maui Island, so finally have some time for downloading photos and videos.Here is short memory from elephant visit in Cambodian Sen Monorom.
Mum, it is like Mauritius – said Szymon when we left the airport building on Hawaii’s Oahu island. The air smells the same, palms, plumeria trees and banyans. Same temperature and finally the same, amazing colour of the ocean. But where are the Hawaiians? We left Osaka on Monday evening and arrived same Monday but […]
From Tokyo we moved to Nikko, to see the mausoleum of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was cold as f@#k and there was still snow here and there. Then back to Tokyo and on to the western park of the island, to Kanazawa. More and more kilometers of temples, traditional houses of merchants and samurai. Szymon […]
Our visit to Japan is very intensive. Our phones told us that since leaving Hakone we were walking on average over 12 kilometers every day with an all time record of more than 18 kilometers one day in Kyoto. It is even more amazing when you realize that Szymon is hyperactive and running all the […]
