Maya experience in Mexico Contributed by Jens Hoffmann There are lot of opportunities to experience the traditions of ancient Maya. If you’re looking for an funky vacation Tulum offers plenty of things beyond its white sands. Scuba among coral reefs, underwater caverns. Just beautiful. Above the waves; kiteboarding, surfing, and kayaking. The cliff top walled Mayan city is a great place, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, home to monkeys, jaguars, ocelots, crocodiles and sea turtles. We checked in at the former “Papaya playa” resort project…Continue Reading “Cities we love Tulum – Mexico” →

Marrakesh by Ben Harris. I am in love with Marrakesh. No need to introduce the destination, a true legend among the most famous places in the world. The legendary city Marrakesh. In Marrakech the sky is a Wagnerian celebration: indigo with pinpricks of starlight, deep sapphire, cerulean, its colors are funneling down through the horizon in the wake of the setting sun. The vivid sounds of the medina are borne towards me, dramatic cried, metallic clashes. The fairy-tale buildings seem to float above the feathery…Continue Reading “The red sky in Marrakech is a Wagnerian celebration” →

Destination Holland. Biking and the “Yotel” – Amsterdam. Text: Jens Hoffmann We made a bike tour in Hotel. True, the flatness of the land helps even in A’dam. Amsterdam is wonderful for cycling, because the city offers an enormous, dedicated infrastructure.

Vistors are rediscovering cycling as the fastest, cheapest and the most enjoyable way to get around A’dam.

Closeby you will also find the residential suburb of Clifton, with its four popular beaches. These are among the trendiest beaches of Cape Town and are therefore in the summer months often overcrowded.
