Een klein stukje van de kust af in de Indische Oceaan ligt Rottnest Island, een soort Australisch Schiermonnikoog. Het eiland is vrijwel autovrij, iedereen fietst daar rond; het is ook niet al te groot: je kan in anderhalf uur het hele eiland rondfietsen. Langs de hele kust zijn prachtige strandjes te vinden aan het groenblauwe Read More »
The highlight of my trip to Ecuador (and in my opinion, ANY trip to Ecuador) was visiting the Galapagos Islands. That being said, I didn’t want to visit this exciting country and see only one location. Quito also beckons with so much to offer: the colonial Old Town (an actual UNESCO World Heritage site), numerous Read More »
Española was my second-favorite island that we visited. It was just gorgeous! Within moments of our dry landing on rocks, we passed by many sea lions frolicking in the water. The sun was so bright, and the water so clear, that I was just entranced. The dry landing area is really neat because it is Read More »
Our 7-night cruise was actually a 3-night and 4-night cruise put together. Most people stayed all 7 nights, but we did have some people leave this day.

From the 15th floor Read More »
This was our last day of our Galapagos cruise, and so we only had time for one destination in the morning. I spent most of the day moping and thinking about how much I wanted to stay and do the whole thing over. Cruising the Galapagos is so exciting! One of my favorite parts was Read More »
St Kitts. The Capital is called Basseterre and the population is 40,700 and official language is English. A lot of people went shopping while they were there but we just went to the beach. They have beautiful sandy beaches and the sun was so hot it was all we wanted to do. We brought our Read More »

Ich habe dann gar nichts gemacht habe. Chris hat mir dann nochmal ein Tattoo verpasst. Hatten ja sonst nix zu tun. Abends bin ich dann mit meinen Read More »
We visited the Botanic Gardens in Quito, inside the Parque Carolina. They were cute, but the signs were only in Spanish and my language skills are seriously lacking. This was major motivation to start studying! We visited the neat orchid section and had fun looking at the cactus section too. It was a very low-key, Read More »
