The seaside mayan ruins of Tulum

Imagine yourself immersed in the warm turquoise carribean water less than two hours after landing in Cancun, Mexico.  Just a little further south from the overrun beach town Playa del Carmen, Tulum offers a more laid back feel and is quieter and still has enough bars offering you your happy drinks during the happy hours.

Tulum is known for its seaside mayan ruins standing on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, just next to the beaches which makes it an ideal combination for many a visitor.

Being Silly on Nainital Lake

Nainital Lake is a very popular summer destination with Indian tourists. Whether on their way to the summer snow or not, the little lake, bordered by a strip stuffed with hotels and restaurants, attracts hoardes of Indian families and couples.

Me and my friend Franz first practised on the little bikes at the lakeside before we took to the water on the surreal kitchy pedalos  and thus having a fun break from our enduring motorbike trip through India, just being silly  among the other floaters on Nainital Lake!
