Another look at the Mekong Waterfront in Nong Khai. The small border town really is delightful — and seems a world away from Laos. If you have a chance stay for a day or two, its pleasantly non-touristy.
We are in Japan! For 2 days already. We were sad to part with Korea – felt like 10 days wasn’t really enough for the beautiful country. But! Japan is awesome. We finalized our 2 week travel plans for the country last night, which are as always subject to change if we feel like it….
A visit to the Monsoon palace on the outskirts of Udaipur, India. Plus a cameo fo Guillermo, our new friend from Argentina.
Taking a (grumpy) train from Nagano to stay at a traditional Japanese ryokan and bathe in the onsen baths (which were both delightful!)
A short stop at the very holy Alaverdi Monastery, dating back to the 6th century. Rahter beautiful and peaceful, the monastery also features a wine cellar — common for religious buildings all across Georgia. The country is known to have invented wine making after all.
Spending the last day in Vietnam at our beloved Cong Caphe in Hanoi. Feels really weird to say that this is our last day in Asia!
Taking the bus around Bangkok is great fun. Love love love the no windows – so refreshing.
