08. Nitra and Brhlovce

Blog entries, Locations
On our drive east we had planned to visit some attractions in Nitra and in Brhlovce, with mixed sucess, if I may say.

Blog entries, Locations
Lindi Lindi cannot be omitted from this set of memories: it holds the dubious honour of having provided the worst hotel accommodation I have ever slept in, up to then in 1987, and all the years after that – and I have slept in quite a few dubious hotels during my travels. The problem with [...]

After our last comfortable night in Guilin, and a decent meal in the local top restaurant, we were ready for the rest of our trip, no doubt a lot rougher, through the remote territory to Guiyang. Next day we [...]

06. Bingzhongluo
