Meine absolute Trauminsel heißt Bamboo Island

Posted in Island Travel by Island Travel

Beide Fragen kann ich mit meiner kurzen Geschichte beantworten. Letzten Dezember entschloss ich mich mit meinem Freund, Weinachten und Sylvester nicht in Deutschland zu verbringen, sondern in Thailand. Thailand war schon immer unser Traumreise gewesen. Verschiedene Berichte, Bücher und Filme inspirierten uns und machten uns neugierig, diese fremde Welt zu erkundschaften. Von den 3 Wochen Thailand, verbrachten wir eine ganze Woche auf einer Touristenreichen Insel, die sich Ko Pi Pi nennt, eine Insel in der Provinz Krabi. Krabi befindet sich in Süd-Thailand, etwa 800 Kilometer südlich von Bangkok, Thailands Kapital. Ko Pi Pi ist eine beliebte und begehrte kleine Insel, die sich im Westen Thailands befindet. Ko Pipihat seinen guten Ruf durch den Film “The Beach” – “Der Strand” mit Leonardo Di Caprio erhalten, denn genau dort wurde der Film gedreht.

Loving Long Island-Day Trips

Posted in Island Travel by Island Travel

If you were to say to someone in Maine that you were taking the ferry to Long Island to visit public gardens, they would look at you and think, “What public gardens?” They would conjure up images of an outpost in Casco Bay populated by people who fish for a living and have little time to garden, and by summer residents who might have a small vegetable garden, flower bed or hedgerow of rugosa rose.

A very unique concept, although now I was a little nervous, wondering I would get seasick, or whether I was going to have decent ship mates. Various thoughts of uncertainty were swirling through my head.
