Croatia: Days at the Balkans

Croatia in my view is mainly popular in the summer (July and August) for beach days and sailing. In order to escape the crowds, Mai/June or September/October is a good time to visit.

As I saw so many nice untouched nature of the Balkans I looked forward to that trip.Region around ZagvozdThe first stop after flying…

Namibia: A dream of sunsets

WindhoekAfter your night flight from Frankfurt, we started our journey in Namibia with a relaxing day at the pool in Windhoek. But before that, we go a bit of a fun before getting your rental car. Folks who returned to Namibia insisted of having 2 spare wheels instead of only 1. Many inspections detailed the whole process. We even had to change one wheel, as it had no profile anymore. In…
