Suse: Thanks for the additional information on Eustache Sarde’s house on La Digue. Once I’m settled in a bit after my return, I’ll look up some additional details on it. I have to admit, Suse, these little tidbits are what I enjoy most in your travelogues. :) Of course, when taking the picture, it w...

I have to admit, for the first time, I was really disappointed with La Digue. Even before, I had my doubts about their over-the-top development, but it wasn’t that bad. Now, you can’t escape the crowds—and they even said that this February is unexpectedly slower than last year’s February, so… Every ...

Bushes cut, stones broken—lo and behold, an alternative path to Anse Caiman is now complete! You can now easily reach it from Anse Fourmis as well. No more jumping over rocks or wading through water at low tide. And you can have a beer at the bar there, cool :) https://i.ibb.co/pvXhr9sF/20250217-182...

Ich habe Mauritius besucht und würde es nicht mit den Seychellen vergleichen, obwohl das oft vorkommt und sogar auf den Seychellen die Einheimischen mich nach einem Vergleich fragten. Aber es kommt darauf an, wonach man sucht. Wenn man ein schönes Hotel und guten Service sucht, dann ist Mauritius de...

Thanks for the tip, I'll put it on my playlist for my next trip, it'll be a cool change from Rammstein.

But other than that, I occasionally listened to the soundtrack to the perfect BBC documentary, "South Pacific", by David Mitcham.

...Hier müssen wir natürlich auch hin: Sieht aus, als hätten wir an der gleichen Stelle gestanden, als wir das Foto gemacht haben.... :D https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230425_13155816hldci.jpg Danke für den schönen Reisebericht und die Fotos, ich habe San Francisco während meiner Reise nach Französisc...

Thanks for the reading & your feedback (-: Tikehau was such a nice surprise, I mean, I knew that I would like it, but haven't expected that it'll match almost all of my preferences (-: I'd love to see it again, preferably with the reef shoes on :lol: That place was really magic. Sometimes I've b...

In conclusion, French Polynesia was a bit of a dream of mine and I'm so glad I was able to come here. I loved every island I visited. I saw and experienced a lot of things and met a lot of great people, both among Polynesians and other tourists. I certainly didn't leave with the feeling that I misse...

Last few photos from the journey back. I just had to try McDonald's in Tahiti. :lol: Finally had the time when I was waiting for my international flight. https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230515_044329283bdk5.jpg I took a bit of a risk and scheduled the departure from Fakarava for the same day as the even...

Check out & check in and it was time to return home after three weeks. On the way back I didn't have any long layover with an overnight stay in a hotel, so I was looking at some 22 hours on the plane, not counting the layover time. Basically, I left the guesthouse on Sunday around 14:00 and arri...

View of the north pass from the very end of the gravel road: https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230513_00055433rizh.jpeg https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230513_0006022prd9a.jpeg https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230513_0006176avc52.jpeg Probably the most famous beach on the island, PK-9, according to the kilometre m...

By the way, I booked my accommodation about six months before departure, and it was no problem to find something nice, well located and relatively reasonably priced on any of the islands. With the exception of Fakarava. That was the only place where I felt I needed to make bookings even further in a...

One of the reasons why I chose Fakarava Atoll was that I expected it to be the most "off the radar" of all the places I chose. I was aware that as a non-diver I miss the main attractions (for most people), but that didn't bother me so much, such places are more about the overall atmosphere...

Yes, finally, I've been able to take a decent photo (-: I mean, saw lot of them, mainly around the motus to the east of Tuharehera, but, they were gone before I was able to fish out my phone from the backpack.

But what I liked the most was kayaking in the lagoon, around the small motus and admiring all the shades of blue. Except for one morning when the sky was overcast with a brief shower, the weather was great - no wind and clear skies. I never met anyone on the small motus east of Tuherahera. Except wh...
