Yes, this blog has been rather quiet – and the travelling accordingly busy and breathtaking! Recently we had to change our travel plans: Taifuns were causing floodings in the Philippines, so we decided to visit Brunei and Sulawesi instead.

Complete temples carved out of a single rock!!!
Ellora is absolutely astonishing: These temples are carved out of the rock! It started off with caves, but the later works include complete multi-storey-temples made directly out of one single huge stone!! Just imagine: The big temple measures 47×81 m2; they carved out 200.000 tonnes of stone!!!

Hampi – Ruins in a magical landscape
After having spent a day getting to know the area of Panaji on Scooter, we headed on to Hampi. Lots of historical buildings (when Hampi had been a capital roughly 500 years ago) in a magically sculptured landscape! I know it sounds extremely exagerated – but look for yourself!

Back from Morocco
We got back from Morocco! It was absolutely wonderful – but just have a look for yourself. (Just follow the link to have a look at the pictures.) It is so close, with a history intermingled with the European one, but yet so different in its culture, landscape and just how it feels in daily life!
