Halfway around the world in 1 year

Welcome to Sotje62 ! My blog intends to make the world a smaller place. Automatically and real-time, the blog traces Beatriz and myself's whereabouts, it might just tell you a thing or 2 that interests me - therefore not you, that's the privilege of having a blog - but read new blogs on the top and click on the pictures in the side bar to see older blogs, the blog,and Beatriz and I hope you grow a good 'travel' appetite. Sotje62 travel blog is in Vlaams (donker gekleurd) and in English (light coloured). So read what you understand and again what you like.

Foto's (20-25/04/09), From Margao to Fort Cochin.

Friday after school everyone goes to the beach.

Cochin, fish stand on the island of fort Cochin. A little shark there.

Fort Cochin, the chinese fishing nets.

Our hostel in fort Cochin.

I like those classic old taxis in India. Here is one of them. Don't look at me, Beatriz missed the picture moment or I should 'freeze' longer.

An alley in Fort Cochin.

Cafe coffee day, we shared tears and joy in there.

A Orthodox church in Fort Cochin.

The fauna in fort Cochin.

Our backwaters tour.

Curry rice with some chutnee on a banana leaf.

Me and my lucky T-shirt.

(I don't remember but what it is in this tree but I think it is some kind of ... nut ?!?)

Backwaters, local Indians burn coconuts to keep a fire going. They burn litlle shells that in the end it becomes plaster.

The skipper takes the boat through a small canal.

Beatriz and our manager, John Assisi. He recruited us to shoot commercials, we made 50 euro in the end which we are very happy with.

The make-up preparations for Katakala. Katakala is a Keralan theatre where facial expressions and very colourful customes make the performance. The actors or dancers do not have any lines, there is only a man singing through all the show...

We traveled 36 hours around the clock. And we still have our backpacks!

On the ferry boat from the train station of Ernakulam to Fort Cochin. Very tired!

View on the seafront of Fort Cochin.

On the train from Margao to Ernakulam. This picture is taken before bedtime and I say that because this is the position we also slept in. I look still happy on the picture though. I think because the people next to us were very friendly and helpful, and because I was wondering if I could catch the guy that takes the picture, if he takes off with my camera!!

Margao station. We have 7 hours to kill before the next train.

16.09.09. Half-Round the world in 1 year / Kick off. 9th of April 2009, Mumbai, India’s biggest city, is our best destination to take the train south to Goa, Kerala and Bangalore. From there we go 4,000 km by train back to north India, see Karnataka, Rajasthan, the Taj Mahal, Varanasi and Nepal. In Nepal we do small treks in the Himalayas and visit Kathmandu. Over de friendship highway, the route goes from Kathmandu to Lhasa by jeep, maximum altitude 5250m and we get to see the Mount Everest. In Lhasa we take the train through China, see the Terracotta warriors in Xi'an, and go 3,500m north to enter Mongolia and arrive in Ulan Bator. In Mongolia we camp in the Khovsgol area near the Russian Siberia, and renew the Chinese Visa to go back south. The clock says 4 months when we trained through China and see Yunnan, South China with its wonderful terraced rice fields. We enter the tropics and after 6 months travels we are in Vietnam. 2 months after that, we should have seen Angkor, the beaches in Thailand & Maleysia ...<e.d. 25.10.09. There is a change of plan after Angkor: we fly from Bangkok to Manila, we go to the Philippines!!> and on a ferry to Indonesia. From either Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok, we find our way to Sydney and work for 3 months. We will have traveled for 1 year when we are in Oz and ... and ... and ... that is how far we planned. But we were supposed to come back in 1 year but we are only half around the world. Beatriz and myself love Asia!! So much for planning ahead and scheduling. Let's just see how we get on and the more exciting our trip will be. Wish us good luck on the trip!!
