From Tokyo to Nuremberg
Our last tourist highlight for the time being is the journey home from Tokyo to Nuremberg. To be honest: There is of course no direct flight from Tokyo to Nuremberg. Our flight route is again due to the best price and takes us from Tokyo via Zurich to Milan. From there we continue on to Frankfurt the next day, where…

Tokyo
Tokyo An overnight flight lasting over ten hours from Auckland to Tokyo has the clear advantage that you don’t get off the plane dead tired when you arrive, but rather well rested. At least one should assume so. At Narita Airport, the immigration process runs surprisingly smoothly and shortly afterwards we find ourselves at a loss in front of the…

From New Zealand to Japan
When we fly today… from New Zealand to Japan … we’re changing continents again. But it’s not that far yet. The flight from New Zealand to Japan only leaves Auckland five minutes before midnight. So more than enough time for everything possible. In the morning we enjoy breakfast in the Hotel without being rushed or under time pressure. Because the…

Morning at Milford Sound
A morning at Milford Sound… … you simply have to experience it once. It’s quite difficult to describe an experience like this because once again I don’t have the words. Still, I want to try it. The difference couldn’t be bigger, especially after the completely rainy evening. We wake up relatively early and are the first on deck. The air…

Milford Sound
The Milford Sound… is the southernmost point of our 2024 world trip. At the same time, it is one of the absolute highlights of this trip. Not only because this fjord offers a breathtaking backdrop, but because it is my former lover and now wife’s birthday. And we want to celebrate this on a ship where we will also sleep.…

From Fiji to Auckland
The stage from Fiji to Auckland … is pretty unspectacular. That’s why there’s not really much to tell here. We had already organized our return transport from the hotel to the airport in advance. The driver will pick us up at 11am – hopefully! So we have enough time for breakfast, which we make full use of. For the umpteenth…

From Auckland to Fiji
The flight from Auckland to Fiji also departs extremely punctually. As a German user of aeroplanes and trains, you have to get used to that! And because I talked about the strange seating in the front of the cabin in the last post, I can continue with this topic here: In the Boeing 787 there is 1-1-1 seating, and again…

A Trip to Alcatraz
A trip to Alcatraz … is on our agenda today. Yesterday we were already at Pier 33, where the boats to Alcatraz dock and disembark. We were told that booking online is easier and quicker, that you can choose your own time and that everything is much simpler. The fact is that we are still awake quite early in the…

Flight from Milan to San Francisco
The flight from Milan to San Francisco … begins with the bus ride from the Crown Plaza Hotel to Milan Malpensa Airport. This first step goes like clockwork. As we already have our boarding passes in our hands thanks to the helpful lady at the Lufthansa counter in Nuremberg, we can skip this step and go straight to security. We…

First day of the world tour
First day of the world tour Well, the first day of our trip around the world didn’t turn out too badly. At a quarter to five on the dot (in the afternoon), we are picked up at home in Eckental by our helpful friend Kurt. Afterwards we drive to Kalchreuth, where we want to pick up our dear friends Sabine…
