When we flew back to Bangkok, COVID-19 was already spreading but was not yet a global pandemic. In the previous few days, the Thai Ministry of Health had announced several contradictory statements about travel restrictions, so we hurried back to Bangkok by air instead of overland. To our surprise, t...

[en] Bicycles packed and ready for our flight to Singapore. We didn't want our trip to end this way, but with the lockdown in Malaysia and the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation globally, it is quickly becoming irresponsible, if not impossible, to continue. We'd have loved to say that we're going home, but where is home, in these strange times? Will Heiko be allowed to enter Singapore?

[de] Die Fahrräder sind verpackt und bereit für unseren Flug nach Singapur. So wollten wir unsere Reise eigentlich nicht beenden, aber nun da Malaysia abgeriegelt ist und sich die COVID-19-Situation weltweit rasend schnell ändert, wird es zunehmend verantwortungslos, wenn nicht unmöglich, weiterzufahren. Wir hätten gerne gesagt, dass wir auf dem Heimweg sind, aber wo ist in diesen seltsamen Zeiten das Zuhause? Wird Heiko nach Singapur einreisen dürfen?

Traffic is calm (no horns - our only standard these days), drivers are considerate, and the quality of the roads (big or small) is so, so good. On top of that, people are quiet and friendly, and food can be found almost anywhere, anytime...

While planning our route through Laos, we considered several options through the mountains of northern Laos. However, after much deliberation, we realised that we are quite exhausted from travelling and not really up for such mountainous, off-road, and off-grid adventures right now. Besides, Laos (o...

After two weeks in Singapore (and almost one month off the bicycles - who knew a bout of sinusitis would take so long?) we flew back to Hanoi, where we had left our bicycles, to continue our journey. When we got into old town, where our hotel was, we were surprised to find the streets emptier than w...
