25. the Erdohat

Blog entries
The Erdohat area has lots of attractions, from wooden belltowers and frescoes churches to a curious cemetery and an old water mill. And friendly people. If you think there are no more wooden churches to explore, you are wrong. Hungary has its share, too, in the very east of the country, the Erdohat region (also [...]

23. Into Hungary

Blog entries
Driving into Hungary, we visit two small churches with frescoes, in Abaujvar and Vizsoly. Kosice is quite close to the Hungarian border, but rather than driving straight to Tokaj, we linger in what is known as the Zemplen Hills. Instead of blasting across the border on the motorway, we find a small road that leads [...]

16. the Spis region

Blog entries
Like so often this trip, we face several attractions closed, but the biggest and perhaps the smallest church of the Spis Region are both opened, specially for us. Levoca, our base for the last few days, is also the capital of what is called the Spis area, a historical region that for a long time [...]

03. Verona

Blog entries, Locations
The first major town on our trip, Verona, has a lot to offer in terms of historical sites, as well as some cultural education, and a real nice atmosphere in the old town.

Antigua Guatemala

Locations
Most people traveling to Guatemala will try to avoid the present-day capital, Guatemala City – a collection of crime, chaos and concrete – and continue to Antigua Guatemala, instead, about an hours’ drive away. This is the old capital, established in 1543 during the Spanish colonial times, and it shows, although most buildings date from [...]

19. Telavi

Blog entries
Telavi itself is not of much interest, but the town is surrounded by some fabulous churches and cathedrals, many supporting the remains of vivid frescos.

09. Sheki

Blog entries
On the way to Georgia, we stop in Sheki, to admire some 18th Century palaces, as well as an old Albanian church in Kish.

44. Cusco

Blog entries
Despite its sometimes overbearing tourist industry, Cusco is a charming town, with an authentic atmosphere and some great historical buildings, including the Inca fort Saqsaywaman.

41. Ayacucho

Blog entries
Ayacucho is not only a lovely colonial town, with some ancient ruins and spectacular cacti nearby, but also a renown carnival site, at the right time of the year.

30. Arica

Blog entries
The northermost Chilean town, Arica, is another harbour, and not very pretty, but it holds an impressive collection of Chinchorro mummies in several museums nearby.
