Probably one of the most adventurous trips we have ever made was the one in Borneo. There we lost our clothes in the darkness of the jungle, frequently greeted a poisonous green snake on our way to the toilet, got our clothes flooded in sweat on a daily basis and slept next to a swarm … Continue reading Borneo

Lavender and Ice
What a feeling to walk next to the lavender fields at dusk! The scent of the air is so incredible, the colours so warm. Being in the lavender fields in the Provence is an experience, not only for the beauty of the never-ending purple carpets that cover the undulating fields, but also because it gives … Continue reading Lavender and Ice
Lavanda y hielo
¡Qué sensación la de caminar por los campos de lavanda al atardecer! El aroma que flota en el aire es increíble, los colores tan calados. Estar en los campos de lavanda de la Provenza es toda una experiencia, no solo por la belleza de las interminables alfombras púrpura cubriendo la tierra ondulada, si no también … Continue reading Lavanda y hielo
Road of friends
The spring weather continues to be extremely moody, so we arrive to the Como lake with a mix of sun and showers and clouds alternating at aleatory and intermittent intervals. The lake and surroundings are quite nice though, so we try to ignore the weather and hike around part of the lake and visit the … Continue reading Road of friends
Amistad por el camino
La climatología primaveral continua siendo extremadamente cambiante, así que llegamos al lago de Como, con una mezcla de sol, chaparrones y nubes alternando aleatoriamente en intervalos intermitentes. Pero como el lago y sus alrededores son bastante espectaculares, tratamos de ignorar el tiempo y caminamos por un segmento de la orilla del lago hasta llegar al … Continue reading Amistad por el camino
Crowds and Empires
We are lucky to reach Azrou on a Tuesday, which is the day when the weekly berber market takes place. The experience is quite intense, it´s a bit like travelling to the middle ages or so, just that now there’s also plastic. Everything is for sale in that market, from livestock to lightbulbs, including fruits … Continue reading Crowds and Empires

Landscapes for the soul
Along the way to the desert we are escorted by the peaks of the Atlas, watching us from the horizon, some of them covered in snow. A succession of valleys and mountains run next by our side, as the road meanders till it takes us to Ouarzazate. Just outside of town, we make a stop … Continue reading Landscapes for the soul
Paisajes para el alma
A lo largo del camino hacia el desierto nos escoltan los picos del Atlas, contemplándonos desde el horizonte, algunos cubiertos de nieve. Una sucesión de valles y montañas corre a nuestro lado, mientras la carretera se contonea hasta que llegamos a Ouarzazate. A las afueras del pueblo paramos en la magnífica casbah Ait Ben Haddou, … Continue reading Paisajes para el alma
Time is dust
For now, our last town in the coast of Morocco is Sidi Ifni, an old Spanish colony that poses in immaculate white against the rough blue sea. Art Deco Architecture framed by tall palm trees that gets even prettier adorned by the honey tones of the evening. The market is small, but rich in variety. … Continue reading Time is dust
