Travel Day 997 – Kathmandu, NEPAL After not having achieved anything really over the last three days, I reckoned that it would be best to rather enjoy the city a little bit, especially because the weather finally seemed to get better… Well, unfortunately the weather really just seemed to get better and once I arrived […]
Travel Day 994-96 – Kathmandu, NEPAL After running around for my first two days, by now it seemed like a good idea to rather use the bad weather to sort out some things in Thamel… In general it already seemed last time that Thamel was the curse and the blessing of Kathmandu at the same […]
Travel Day 993 – Kathmandu, NEPAL It was of course raining again, but I couldn’t really sit still for very long and as soon as the weather permitted, I walked through some of Kathmandu’s courtyards… While the UNESCO enlisted Durbar Square was definitely the most prominent place to experience Kathmandu, there were a lot of […]
Travel Day 992 – Delhi to Kathmandu, NEPAL After spending 4 ½ months in India, I was finally flying to Nepal and I was especially happy about that after the intense heat of the past weeks. But how happy I really was, I only came to realize when the plane landed in Kathmandu… While I […]
Travel Day 991 – Chennai to Delhi, INDIA It was already my last day in India and unfortunately it was nothing more than an Active Travel Day… After spending two days with Amma, today felt obviously a little bit empty again and besides sleeping-in, packing and getting some nice food, there was not much else […]
Travel Day 990 – Amma Ashram, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Yesterday we had finally left the ashram at 1am in the morning, but today we managed to be present pretty much the whole time while Amma was on stage form 11am to 5am the next day… When we arrived in the morning, the ashram was […]
Travel Day 989 – Amma Ashram, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Wow, after all the time at the beach, the rigid Sivananda Ashram and the strange place Tiruvannamalai with its somewhat miserable looking Ramana guru, I was so happy to come home and see Amma again… It really was a strange experience and maybe it actually […]
Travel Day 988 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Today I finally managed to get up at 5.20am again as I had done every single day while in the Sivananda Ashram, but today I did it to go back to the lookout on the Arunachala Mountain… Actually I was quite surprised when I got up, because the […]
Travel Day 987 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Initially I wanted to leave today and visit Vellore with its castle, as well as Chennai, but since the day without people was so enjoyable yesterday, I decided to stay a little bit longer… I was actually really surprised how different Tiruvannamalai felt yesterday after all the Westerners […]
Travel Day 986 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA After spending almost a week in Tiruvannamalai and getting to know all the foreigners in town, today the whole town had a very different feeling about it and the reason was no-one less than Amma… Amma was currently on her South-India tour and while I found myself […]
Travel Day 985 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Today was Sunday and it was Tamil New Year but for some reason everything felt really, really strange today… After going to bed at 5am in the morning, we were really only able to sleep until about 9am and then due to a power cut it was […]
Travel Day 984 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Finally we had managed to go to bed early and finally after getting some rest I was having more energy again and felt ready to do something… Strangely enough but for my friend it was the opposite again and his energy level was down. So we had […]
Travel Day 982 – Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Of course it got late again yesterday and of course we had to sleep-in again today, so it came to no surprise that this day seemed to be lacking energy and motivation again as well… It was really strange I thought and I wasn’t really sure if […]
