Quite the weekend out there — wet, cold, and gloriously muddy! 💪 From deep water holes to slippery hills and swampy forest floors, we put the Giraffe (and her new mud tires) through some serious training. Got her stuck a couple of times 😅 but pulled through every challenge. She handled it like an absolute champ 🦒
More to come! 😉

While part of the Giraffe Team is soaking up the chic charm of Palma & Mallorca, the other half is lost in the magic of Madagascar’s nature & wildlife 🌴🐒 From culture and crystal waters to lush jungles and dry forests — we’ve got both worlds covered! 😜

So tell us… which would you choose: chic & gorgeous or rustic & wild? 💫

Rained out! 🫤
The day started nicely, we hiked about 2 hours to the next hut and then headed up to do a C/D rated Via Ferrata that takes about 3 hours. Halfway into it and about 200m below the peak, suddenly accumulating dark clouds and gusty winds convinced us to turn around. Disappointing and hard call to make, but when it started hailing and raining, we were glad to be almost back in the hut.
Where our super-comfy accommodations waited. 🤦‍♀️🤣 But the food and company was good. 👍

How are you jumping into the weekend? 🪂
We kicked it off by heading up to the Rosengarten Group in the Dolomites, where we admired the super modern gondola, tackled a mostly gearless via ferrata, picnicked at the top and then lounged in the dorm of a mountain hut, reading books until dinner time.

With any luck, tomorrow will be a bit like today. 😜 But with rain and wind at the moment, hard to tell what's next.
➡️ What's in store for you this weekend? ❓️

🏔 3 days. 27 km. 2,300 meters up.
Legs burning, hearts full, eyes wide the entire time.
From misty dawns to golden sunsets over jagged peaks, every step was a “wow” moment.

Now the big question: Would you take on this climb for those views… or cheer from the valley with an Aperol in hand? 🍹😉

You know you're in the mountains with the Giraffe Team when a spontaneous day hike is planned, and then 2 hours in, hanging in the middle of a 6m vertical pitch, Achim asks, "Was there climbing involved on this route?!" The answer: a definitive NO. But hey, when were we ever people to take the easy route? Or to not get lost while out on a trail? 😂
All's well that ends well: 1500m vertical, 8 km later, we were all smiles and tired legs. 🙂

➡️ When you hike, do you usually lose the trail, too? 🤔

Thanks @kev.sieber for your awesome help and work!

A few months, seven visits to various garages, outfitters, and specialists… but we’re finally almost ready to get back on the road — with a better-than-ever Giraffe! Just a few final tweaks, a splash of paint… and a mountain of bills. 🙈🥴😱😂

On the bright side, huge thanks to @ormocarreisemobile — truly top-tier: helpful, cooperative, creative, and solution-oriented. We appreciate you! 👏🙏

On the opposite end of the spectrum, our experience with @darcexp was unfortunately disappointing. While there are some great, skilled individuals on the team, we also experienced unpleasant confrontation, inflexibility and lack of interest in customer satisfaction — making the process needlessly painful. 😬

Who's the GGG team?

One thing we all have in common: a love for adventure! So hit follow and join us on both past and future trips of discovery, joy, trial, and exploration! 💯💪👍

Where did you spend Valentine's day?
We were in this wonderful, cute little town and enjoyed day time and evening walks through the Stari Grad (Old Town).
Wherever you are, we hope you're discovering beauty and love: for yourself, the world we live in, and the important people in life! ❤️

Ohrid was kind of like that. A historical lakeside town with a picturesque old town, lively pedestrian area, beautiful clear blue water, hilltop fortress surrounded by towering pine trees, and gorgeous sunsets.

Do you like making lists?
Creating one for things we like here in Macedonia has been incredibly easy. Considering the helpful and friendly reception @robevskiluxuryrooms , the Rakija on the house @kuskus_bt , the helpful guy who greeted me in German when we arrived in Bitola, the parking lot attendent who tried very hard to explain things to us and called the hotel when he needed help, and the smiling servers in restaurants... it's been a very nice couple of days. 🙂

Have you been to Macedonia? What do you ❤️?

Any bucket list items that have disappointed you? 🤔
It was cool to visit Pamukkale, but definitely not what I expected. Most of the pools are dry, most of the area is no access allowed, mostly there is no "bathing" but only feet in the water, mostly it's not bright turquoise water in white pools. So: all the marketing you see is pretty much bullshit.
But it was on my bucket list, so we paid the hefty entry fee and went anyway. And here's a compilation of the photos we managed to take. Okay, it was still cool. 😎 Just not as amazing as I'd envisioned. 🙄😬

The lifts were closed, snow is scarce but we are here! So we will ski. 😁 Winds up to 50 km/h but hey, that's why we've got touring gear, right? So we can ski anywhere, without freezing on cold lifts or waiting for them to open.
We wish the conditions were better, seems like a big station and were really hoping to skin all the way to the top at 3900m.
But: we had blue sky, a friendly volunteer guide dog (who of course got treats later on), and the mountain to ourselves.

Wander the valleys or enjoy the view from the heights? We decided for the latter and finished our afternoon above Sword, Rose and Red Valley. There was a cold wind but wonderful views - and it seemed a fitting pendant to starting the day underground (if you missed the story about the Underground city, no fear: we'll get a reel summary up soon - it was so cool!)

The Road to Nemrut Dagi: Part 2
After spending the night at the side of the snow-covered road, we set off in the morning to climb the rest of the way. Even with a few short cuts, it was a 15km ski tour and 750m vertical ascent.
Smart activity while coming off the back of bronchitis? 🤔 Maybe not, but when my mind is set on something, it can be hard to deter me! 🙈 And hey, there was no entrance fee since officially the site is closed (and deserted). So that's an upside. 😉
Oh and BTW, our new touring skis are awesome! 😁

And then sometimes, you have days like this...
It was a lopsided decision to try to visit Nemrut Dagi (ie Jaimi wanted to, Achim didn't). In addition, it's a long, windy road to get there. So when you don't make it and get stuck in deep, slushy snow instead, it's a test for any team... 🙈😬❄️

We split responsibilities today: Achim went exploring and taking photos, while Jaimi laid in bed and tried to get well. 😬
Kars has some nice sights and areas, we both would have enjoyed wandering around more, enjoying some of the cute and inviting restaurants, and exploring a bit further. But we've decided to use the time that Jaimi is useless, to continue driving and cover more ground before her next 'work break' in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the warm welcome to your town @liethia0

Step into the history of Ani, the 'City of 1,001 Churches,' a medieval Armenian capital that once thrived as a hub of trade and culture on the Silk Road. Life here goes back thousands of years, some of the excavacation pointing to the 3rd millenia B.C. Through the millenia, Ani has changed hands myriad times, shifting between religions, empires, countries and cultures. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Turkey (with the current Armenian border visible just across the ravine), its breathtaking ruins tell the story of empires and resilience.
It would be easy to spend a full day exploring the history and the remains of this unique and exceptional place.

It would be easy to spend a full day exploring the history and the remains of this unique and exceptional place.

We finished our first day in Turkey at this gorgeous spot overlooking a frozen lake. It was another "where does the time go" kind of day: re-fueling, pharmacy, ATM, groceries, border crossing, sim card, etc...

But we settled in at this beautiful place to enjoy the winter scenery and our first meal here in the neighboring restaurant (more about that in our story). 🙂

Where's the last place you visited, where you wished you could stay a few days longer? 🤔 Tell us in the comments! ⏬️😀
For us, it was Dilijan National Park. We saw only a small part of it and could have spent many days exploring, hiking, looking for wolves (we only saw the tracks), and visiting the villages and sites. Not to mention enjoying the quiet and beauty!

Perched on the edge of Armenia’s breathtaking cliffs, Tatev Monastery is more than a landmark—it’s a journey through time and wonder. ✨️
You can reach the Monastery via the world’s longest reversible cable car, which boasts commanding views from the frightfully high flight. Or you can drive up on a newly paved road.
However you get there, it takes some time and effort; worth it to enjoy a hike and the serene spiritual vibes? Have you experienced this magic? Share your memories or tag someone you’d take on this adventure! 🌍❤️

Good morning! 🙂
Waking up like this rivals the insta-promoted vanlife. And then to spend the morning traversing the 160m Khndzoresk Swinging Bridge and wander around the cave dwellings that were home to 1800 people, and partially occupied until the 1950s...what a great day of exploration!

What's on your list to explore this week?

Can you imagine life in a cave dwelling? 🤔
From about the 5th century until the 1950s, that's exactly how many people lived in this part of Armenia.we took a short hike through the impressive, rock-pinnacle-strewn mountains to explore, and enjoyed the views from the summit cross and from our parking place for the night. 🙂

Some days do actually start with a beautiful sunrise above a lake, with a frosty beach and my travel partner making coffee for me to drink in bed. Today is one of those days, and it is wonderful!

BUT: some days start with rain and wind battering the vehicle, with a pack of dogs barking outside, with rumbling trucks starting engines or careening past on a too-close road, with an panicked run to the bathroom because you ate something not-quite-right the night before, with headaches because you couldn't sleep, with a stranger banging on the door, saying in some foreign language that you can't park here...the list goes on. And sometimes those things happen at really weird "morning" hours, like 2:00 or 5:00.

Don't get me wrong - traveling like this is an amazing experience with magical moments. And it's also continually upheaval and exhaustion. We're looking forward to the holiday break coming up. 😉

Okay, wine-tasting is a great way to kickoff pretty much anything (in my book). Especially when it's at a beautiful, family-run boutique winery with friendly and welcoming proprietors who put love into their work!

We sampled six great wines (the Areni Classic was a favorite, as was the Tozot), enjoyed gorgeous snacks that made dinner superfluous and had enriching conversation (quite some of it via google translate #gottalovetechnology ) 😜

❔️✅️ Where's the last place you had a great wine-tasting experience?

What did they worship in Armenia before Christianity was introduced in 301 A.D.? 🤔
We found out: multiple gods, including the Sun God Mirh, for whom this pagan temple in Garni was built in the 1st century (!!!). The temple was built entirely without mortar, using metal joint and molten lead to hold it together. It stood strong and proud until finally collapsing a big earthquake in 1679. And then was rebuilt in the 1970s, using the same exact construction and preserving much of the historical stones. It's been deemed the eastern-most Greco-Roman style building in the world. And of course, Jaimi had to do a sun salutation on the Temple pedestal, as it seemed fitting. 😁

Equally impressive - if not more so - is Mother Nature's Symphony of Stones in the Garni Gorge below the temple. Absolutely incredible...but we were kind of wishing we had hardhat on. 🙈😂

How do you enjoy your 2nd day in a new country?
We did a small tour, visiting Saghmosavank Monastery, the Armeian Alphabet statues, and finishing with Amberd Fortress (built in the 7th century!). Achim was of course thrilled to have a fortress on the itinerary again 😁, even though it involved a lot of snowy driving. And Jaimi actually broke some rules today (a rare occurrence!) by climbing over a fence to explore. 🙈😂 And we still got invited to have tea with the people working there! 😍👍🙏

➡️ BTW, when's the last time you saw a Giraffe in the snow? 😉

Following 6.5 days of waiting at the port in Aktau, the Giraffe finally made it on a ferry across the Caspian Sea! And this morning, Achim was at the port in Alat, Azerbaijan at daybreak to pick her up. It took 3.5 hours and 7 stations to get through customs and finally put if the Port. Now: back on the road! Finally! 😁

Have you been to Bozhira yet?
This was our final stop in Kazakhstan before the long wait to load the Giraffe on the ferry started. It involved a long bus trip together with a bunch of lively, friendly Kazakh people, very loud music accompanied by singing and dancing, a group lunch, lots of rain and snow, and absolutely STUNNING scenery! Luckily the rain stopped just long enough to get some photos!
Quite a packed day with other-worldly scenery and cultural encounters! 😁

Another attempt at visiting an underground mosque...this one successful, and it is the most intriguing of all Mangistau’s underground mosques! The 10th-century Shakpak-Ata is a cross-shaped cave with three entrances and four chambers, cut into a cliff close to the Caspian coast. The eerily beautiful, Swiss-cheese-like stone that it's cut into was once at the bottom of the sea.
There are various legends about its heritage, with the most popular that it was occupied by a holy healer. And the necropolis built outside attests to his followers desire to be near the holy Shakpak-Ata even in death.
It's a long, bumpy drive to get here, but worth it. And without a struggle to visit, it could hardly be considered a pilgrimage, right? 😇

How would you react if someone suggested driving a few hours to see some big round stones? 🤔
I'll admit, I was skeptical. And I'm glad I kept my misgivings to myself because it was actually pretty cool! After enjoying the freezing cold sunrise vigil, we bundled up for a hike through the Valley of Balls in search of the Underground Mosque. Which we found, but despite major efforts, could not get into. 🙈 So we wandered through the Round Stones again, scaring up rabbits and getting moved at by cows. And were on the road again by about 10:00, heading to our next destination! 🙂 #rapidsightseeing

When was the last time you watched the sunrise?
We were up early and enjoyed a magnificent display of the sun rising over the Valley of Round Stones - and despite it being very, very cold, I couldn't stop taking photos. So I sang and danced to stay warm, and thoroughly enjoyed experiencing this amazing start to the day. 😍

Do you like the get up for the sunrise?
