1 February 2014 – Agra, India
Visiting the Taj Mahal, the COOLEST THING EVER! Its probably just the hype around it, but it really is an unbelievable feeling to be standing right there.

Cruising the backwaters in Kerela. We took the houseboat from Alleppey.
If the number of posts (4!) about just one city is any indication, it was pretty hard for us to let go of Budapest. We had all sorts of grand plans to see the countryside, perhaps chill out a few days at Laka Balaton, which we’ve heard is pretty impressive.
Unbeknownst to us we try the famous Lao crepes (pancakes) and deem them to be the best desert ever. Seriously, I can see why backpackers are all about this stuff — its delicious! And can be found in every small town in Laos.
Jenia’s hometown of Petrozavodsk has a gorgeous embankment. Here we are taking a walk among all the marriage ceremonies. The short Karelian summer of mid June to mid August is the most popular time to get married (for obvious reasons).
Couchsurfing in Amer, right outside of Jaipur. Day 1.
Our first day in Hanoi – and it is love. At least with our hotel: Hanoi Culture Hostel. This is hands down the best price to value ratio that we have experienced first hand on this trip. The best bit is the balcony, of course, overlooking the Old Quarter.
