Two travel bees
and our travel diary
A few of our favorite places
Rome
Việt Nam
Hai Van Pass on the way between Hue and Hoi An
Ninh Binh: close to Hanoi and
known as "Halong bay on land".
A real gem
Sapa: endless rice terraces and mountain walks close to the border of China
Bai Tu Long Bay (a less visited 'Halong Bay') on a cruise with Indochina Junk
Sicily
Sicilian cities are quite worn down which was a bit disappointing. However, we really enjoyed visiting the active vulcano Etna, not far from the very charming mountain town of Taormina.
USA - west coast
Yosemite - touristy, but fantastic! We recommend booking a camp site inside the park for $10 a night
Antelope Canyon - underground with extremely interesting variety of natural shapes, light and colors. Thanks for the tip!
Grand Canyon - as seen in so many movies
Bryce Canyon: Smaller, but with thousands of stone figures carved out by the wind and ice
Highway 1: from San Francisco, through Carmel to LA
San Francisco, Monterey and Carmel by the Sea
Death valley: Colorful desert
Zion national park: Jurrasic park meets red rock
