Southeast-Asia was the first destination on our year-off. In the 3 and a half months of the first stage of our travels we have been to Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bali (Indonesia) and Singapore. Beautiful temples, sunshine, the contrast of abundant nature and drought, excellent food, marvelous beaches and (most of the time) very affordable prices characterized our trip.
We returned to Asia once more, to spend 6 weeks in India. This country is a potpourri of colors, scents and shapes, full of amazing forts, temples and palaces. Vivid villages, bustling cities and beautiful landscapes.
