    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.

    Klik hier om een link te hebben waarmee u dit artikel later terug kunt lezen.In Vientiane, hoofdstad van Laos / Capital of Laos.

    Sabaai dii !! (ik zeg niet anders in Laos, het betekent hallo in Lao)

    Vientiane is met zijn 200,000 inwoners de hoofdstad en de grootste stad in Laos. Het zijn welgeteld een 3-tal paralel lopende straten en meer niet. Om te bezichten is er dus ook niet veel. Behalve Pha That Luang, het Buddha Park en een Arc de triomphe - je ziet dat de Franse hier geweest zijn - heeft het weinig om handen. Het is wel een paar foto's waard en die deel ik natuurlijk graag :

    Sabaai dii !! (say it a million times a day in Laos, it's hello in Lao)

    Having 200,000 people Vientiane is the capital and biggest city in Laos. 3 streets is what I am talking about so it won't surprise you there is not much to see and we will get to the south quickly. The sights are Pha That Luang, the Budha Park and an Arch de triomphe - the French without a doubt have been here - and I post some pics so you have an idea how the sights look like :





    Pha That Luang, het nationale monument van het boedhisme en nationalisme in Laos. Gebouwd in 1500+ // the national monument of budhism and nationalism in Laos. Build in the 1500s.

    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!!
