| Eisbach river surfers in downtown Munich
|
Munich, one of the most beautiful towns in Germany has a vivid outdoor scene. At the edge of the "English Garden City Park", next to Prinzregentenstraße there is a small bridge with a hell of a water wave! Locals and now even people from far away come for a fun ride on the river Eisbach. The wave is standing still on the same spot. There are some tools, to adjust it so the surfers can create their own wave in a way. I believe there is a wood in the water that depending on the angle is helping to shape the wave. As I was just reading today, the city is planing to create a whole river surf area at doors of Munich on the River Isar. There is already a second wave south in Munich, but that's really a local spot. Let's see if I can get some pix from there next time!

| South Thailand in two weeks
|
On my flight back from Melbourne, Australia to Germany I had a two week free stop over in Thailand.
After reading a couple of reports on GLOBOsapiens.net I decided to visit the south of this fantastic country. I went kind of island hopping. A bus ride to Surathani from Bangkok costs about 400 Bath *12 Euro* and it takes you about 10 hours plus a 2 hour ferry ride *included*. I set of for Ko Samui on the east coast, went on to Ko Tao and then set over for the west coast.
On Ko Phi Phi you will find some great scenary is waiting. They shot the movie "the beach" on this island and there is definatelly a reason for this. After having enough of the masses, I set over for Ko Lanta and then back to Bangkok. Let me take you on a virtual journey around south Thailand. Lean back and enjoy the slide show.

| Tasmania - January 2002
|
I did spend the last two weeks of my trip to Australia in Tasmania. Great rock, mountain climbing, the world biggest lavender farm, fantastic beaches and endless scenery.
We - Adrian, Kim, Lee and myself - rented a car for our trip through Tassi. It's the best way to see the island. Don't go on a tour or something like this! Bring your tent, a good windbraker jacket and some warm cloth. Tasmania is on the south tip of Australia and it get's freeeeezing cold even during the somer month.
We climbed cradle mountain - yeeah we did it! - and we skinny dipped into the freezing ozean ;-). We tasted almost every vinyard and every cheese. Tasmania has lots to offer. Check out the slide show I have prepared and get the spirit of Tasmania!

| One great week in Hong Kong - November 2002
|
On my flight to Perth, Australia I did have a free stop over included in my airline ticket. I did choose Hong Kong as I have never been in China before. The city is soooooo huge! Just unbelievable! It was a great contrast to the small places I found in Australia.
Check out the photo album I prepared on Hong Kong.
