The journey.
This trip is going to be different from how we normally travel, because we rented a car. Uganda by public transport does not seem determined to be relaxed and it seems sometimes like to do a road trip :-). Especially when it is in Africa, with your tent at hand. The morning after our arrival we can pick up the car in any case and we leave right away from Kampala. Cities are not really my cup of tea. Eventually we will be more than two weeks traveling through Uganda and Rwanda a week. Fat chance of that indeed still is different. Nothing is as changeable as a backpacker. And then the party is not over yet, as we fly back again via Dubai, where we also linger once but three days. Nice is not it?
Yet while and then it is so far! Until then, I remain, of course, lots of blogging on Trip Girl and during our trip there will be enough to read new articles. Maybe not every day if somewhere not reach into the jungle, but I hope you understand ;-).
This photo was taken on the route from Srinagar to Leh, near Dras. The people who live here are a mix of Karhmiri and Darden; descendants of an ancient kingdom before it was annexed by the country after the independence of India. It has the dubious honor after Siberia to where people live all year round, the coldest place on earth). In the winter it is an average of -40 ° C. Dras is located near Kargil , another site of interest on this route. In 1999, the third Kashmir war between India and Pakistan came here for three months. Kargil is the main town in an area claimed by Pakistan, but already many years the territory of India. Both countries attacked each other with jets, helicopters and other such weaponry. Meanwhile it is quiet and you can travel as a tourist fine. In the mountains seem sometimes to be skirmishes between the two armies, but we have during our trip nothing of gemerkt.Sterker, you can a little further south, near Amritsar, even the border between India and Pakistan visits. Every night they officially close here show the border with a lot of power. Here you will notice obvious that both countries are not close friends, but my ow what it's cool to do that! Before you go, always be a current security situation. You never know ;-).
Fotografietip.
The men of the picture are locals who were on their way from one to the other village. Especially when you click on the picture and it looks bigger, you can only really see the depth in the picture. This gives you a little bit impressed how big the mountains. Have you ever tried to get depth in a picture, such as skiing or hiking in the mountains? It remains very difficult to do this. Almost always, it is in reality much deeper, steeper and grander than you look back on photos or video. One of the ways to get more depth in a picture by a certain topic to put in the foreground here and whether to focus on. Because this guys will see in the foreground, you get a better idea of how big the rock wall behind them actually is not. Try it out during a subsequent trip in the mountains!
When I was a few years set a single lady, I was simply on vacation. Near and far. And not nice that I went with such an organized trip ;-). How relaxed and perhaps even fun that can be; not for me. But what do you do if your friends all have a relationship and have 25 vacation days per year ?! Well, just so but. I was really the first time a while a small threshold, but later found that nonsense. I made super fun trips I would not have missed for anything. These are for me the pros and cons of solo travel:
Benefits.
- You do not have to stick with one account and can kick start your own thing. No sense to go on the road? Still not good. Delicious! With a friend it 's different, but when you're with strangers journey would I still feel a little socially obliged always to join. So that does no good if you're traveling solo!
- You meet the nicest people. Just when you're traveling solo you meet all kinds of people you probably otherwise had no contact. Yet you pull before your friend (-in) or group travel far. I think it's just great fun to meet travel special, fun and local people. Then traveling solo ideal!
- You learn to know yourself well. That does it anyway for travel; you come just in situations that you've made it out earlier and thus learn to know yourself better. I myself have at least
- If you're traveling solo this is exacerbated because sometimes you're really on your own. You can not discuss here about the itinerary and about the evening regularly only angling your pasta'tje inside. nonetheless provides a kind of cool feeling when you're here too once thick with fine still feels?
Cons.
- Travel = share. I think quite a bit. Now I have a couple of years with my friend travel together, I feel, however, that 's very nice to be able to share experiences traveling together. That wrong you do if you're traveling solo.
- Everything is expensive. Well, almost everything. A single room is always relatively more expensive than a double room per person. The same goes for little tour and book a guide for example. They often charge a flat fee what you do but beautiful moment on your own to tap off.
- Sense of security for the ladies . I say "feel" for safety in many countries for women traveling alone very well. Especially in Asia, there are many places where you feel free as a woman alone can go. It's just the feeling of insecurity that you can do sometimes when you walk somewhere alone around. Just trust your instincts and look good in the culture.
For me, the benefits of solo trips certainly outweigh the disadvantages. Now I would of course like to be more different than going with my friend on the road ;-), but if you have no relationship and doubts about a solo trip I would definitely just go! You will not regret it! Have you ever traveled alone? What did you think of that?
