Couple in private boat rental in Zakynthos, Greece

What to look out for when renting a private boat in Laganas (Zakynthos – Greece)

Travel Experiences / /

I can’t tell for sure if this is Zakynthos’ biggest scam, or if it was just “bad luck”. But as soon as we rented a private boat from a shop on Laganas’ main strip, it seemed like all the stars aligned to get as much money out of us as possible.

To prevent other travellers from falling for the same tourist trap, I am sharing what to look out for when renting a private boat in Laganas.

Zelve Open Air museum in Cappadocia

Best places to visit in Cappadocia

Travel Experiences / /

Cappadocia has so much more to offer than the hot air balloons we see on instagram all the time. While a hot air balloon ride is a must-do (unless you’re afraid of heights of course), these are the places in Cappadocia that are worth a visit as well.

I’ve put them into three categories: open air museums, castles/ cathedrals, and valleys. For an unforgettable Cappadocia experience, you should try to visit at least one place out of each category.

What to expect from the Green Tour in Cappadocia

Travel Experiences / /

Cappadocia has three tours that are being advertised everywhere – the Red, the Blue and the Green tour. The Red and the Blue tour cover places that are easy to reach from Goreme – either by foot or by a short bus/taxi ride. So we decided to go for the Green Tour, and to visit the other places by ourselves. Here’s what to expect from the Green Tour.

Must-do in Bali: Nusa Penida day tour

Travel Experiences / /

With still a lot of places left to see in Bali, we had to make a tough decision on the evening before our last day in Bali. Did we want to see the rest of Bali, or take a day trip to Nusa Penida? While we knew that one day wouldn’t be enough time in Nusa Penida, we also felt that a trip to Bali wouldn’t be complete without having seen Nusa Penida. So, we decided to take the day trip to this wonderful island. A decision we will never regret!

Meeting the monkeys at Ubud Monkey Forest

Travel Experiences / /

Feeling curious and a bit scared about walking in a forest full of wild monkeys, I wasn’t sure if we should give the Monkey Forest in Ubud a visit or a miss. Since the Monkey Forest was within walking distance from our hotel anyway, we decided to give it a visit. It turned out to be a fun afternoon – despite my initial fear of being surrounded by wild monkeys.

Temples to visit in Ubud

Travel Experiences / /

By far the three most famous temples in Ubud are Goa Gajah, Tirta Empul and Gunung Kawi. We visited all three of them as part of our day trip in and around Ubud. Unlike some other temples in Bali, the entry fees for these Ubud temples include the renting of a Sarong if you don’t have your own. Also make sure to cover your shoulders and belly.
