Boiling Mud, Hot Water Pools and Geysers in the Land of the Maori

//  by Simon//  11 Comments

First comes the smell of ‘rotten egg’ – caused by sulphur – to signal that you’re entering the geothermal area of Rotorua, a place which I came to call the ‘Land of the Maori‘ since a large community populates this region. As they represent over 35% of the local Rotorua area population, I got to …

A Coastal Walk in New Plymouth

//  by Simon//  3 Comments

New Plymouth and the coastal walk are nothing worth crossing the ocean, but the town has a nice easy-going allure and the walk along the coast is peaceful and in some points offers rewarding views on the ocean and the surrounding nature.

South Africa, Drakensberg View

The Spectacular Drakensberg and the Tugela Falls Hike

//  by Simon//  9 Comments

After I left Johannesburg, I started my journey down to Cape Town by the BazBus with no specific itinerary yet. I just decided that my first stop would be in Northern Drakensberg, to see the spectacular Amphitheatre. The view on the high and steep semi-circular cliffs (from which it was named Amphitheatre’) is stunning. My …

//  by Simon//  17 Comments

During the last 2 years, I’ve been to London quite a few times but never adventured beyond a long walk along the Thames.   Then, some time ago I got enticed by an article written by my friend Michael on an easy hike close to London, on the coastline in Eastbourne. As soon as I saw the …

Courmayeur: Hiking at the feet of the Mont Blanc

//  by Simon//  9 Comments

I’m wild about mountains. In all seasons. In winter, when everything is white and I slide on the snow with my skis. In spring, when flowers are blooming.
