The brochure should pretty much speak for itself. It gives info on our homestay and the kayaking. Contact me if you have any doubts on the same. A new addition is my mother's website to her beautiful and comfortable Homesaty in Port Blair, Andaman Islands. Just type in www.andamanhomestay.com Cheers.... read more

27 avril 2012, les Îles Andaman Jasons crocodiles, ma nouvelle phobie. Il y en a aux Îles Andaman, toutes les pancartes sur le bord des plages nous le rappellent. C’est un peu tannant d’en croiser une quand tu t’apprêtes à faire du snorkling, et encore plus tannant d’entendre l’histoire tragique d’une touriste qui s’est fait croquée dans les environs, en 2010. Elle était en train de faire du snorkling dans une baie avec son copain, qui lui se trouvait au fond de l’eau pour prendre des photos. Pendant ce temps, un crocodile qui passait par là a attaqué la jeune femme, a emprisonné sa tête dans sa gueule et l’a entraîné au loin, probablement en guise de repas. Le jeune homme a tenté de la secourir mais en vain. Comme aucun témoin n’avait assisté à la ... read more

Sometimes, you gotta just run. Get out there. No ‘oh, but it’s too hot, or too cold or too dark or too sunny, or I haven’t got the correct track pants or t-shirt or shorts’ or whatever. Put on your running shoes and just run. No one’s asking you to break some record so stop looking for excuses. Just run till you’re okay with stopping. I hate running. I hate it. I detest it. Me. Me who cancels dates or ‘catch-up’s because ‘I gotta run’. Yeah, it destroys me every time. Time. Time always wins against me when I run. But I don’t run to run. I run to kayak. I run to get to my kayak. I run to get into my kayak. I run only and I mean it when I say ONLY because ... read more

We went on an enjoyable snorkelling trip to Nicholson Island and Elephant beach. Highlights included: long tapered yellow fish, purple sea anemones, squirting clams and fluorescent fish. Every night we ate fresh fish at our favourite road side restaurant asking him what he had purchased from the market that day. This included whole Red Snapper, Blue Trevally and delicious lobster.... read more

We arrived in Chennai at the tail end of a cyclone and the previous week people were trapped on the Andaman Islands where we were heading! The boat trip from Port Blair to Havelock Island was a little rough but nothing we couldn't handle by staring at the horizon. We stayed at a beautiful resort on a tropical beach at Havelock Island. The only noise was the loud crash of coconuts falling on the roof or a dull thud if they hit the sand. We spent a relaxing NYE here, with a few drinks (hard to come by). Our daily breakfasts included lassis and pancakes. We had a busy schedule of swimming, reading and drinking scotch and cokes in the afternoons.... read more

Durch den Zivilisationscut im Paradies und im Anschluß einer Hochgeschwindigkeitstour von Chennai über Puri, Konark, Calcutta und jetzt Bodhgaya bin ich etwas im Verzug was die aktuellen Bilder angeht. Doch ich möchte Euch die Paradiesfotos nicht vorenthalten und sende nun wie versprochen nach den Fotos der Tierwelt von Pandora weitere Eindrücke der Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Tja und nach dem es bei satten 2175 abgelichteten Lebewesen und Natureindrücken seeehr seeehr schwierig ist eine Auswahl zu treffen fang ich jetzt erst mal mit ein paar Bildern vom ersten Aufenthaltsort dort an nämlich Havelock Island. Mal kucken wie lange das Hochladen dauert und ob heute noch weitere folgen oder ob ich das dann vertage:-)...... read more

Bruised, Burned, Blistered and Bleeding – and I’m not talking about my ego, here. My back is scraped thoroughly from all the pivoting in my seat trying to keep my kayak right-side-up in five-feet swells just south-east of John Lawrence Island…ohhhhh and the wall of rocks they end on – not a pleasant sight. Still rolling and pitching from the rough seas while kayaking this past week, I haven’t felt this alive in a lonnnnng time. But all in all it was a bloody good week at sea. I actually enjoyed the fight. A mini-storm (something you get a lot of at this time of the year in the andamans) hit me just as I was through playboating the swells a couple or so days ago, and turned to start my 4 km ride back. The ... read more


At the end of a fantastic meal why is it always a fight over the bill? How do I end a perfectly good date without getting into an argument over paying for something I want to pay for? When she fights to pay, is that a good thing or a bad thing? The survey successfully spanned five guys and three girls. And it kind of resulted in the fact that we would simply like to be an actively contributing part of a wonderful time. I mean, “I’m an adult, and I am as much part of making this evening happen as you are, so let’s both contribute to it so that we can both afford to have more such evenings”, is what the girls eventually agreed on as common reasoning. Everybody wants to feel special, and ... read more


Hier noch die ausstehenden Tauchfotos von den Andamanen. Leider ist die Qualitaet dieser Fotos nicht ansatzweise mit meinen Fotos vergangener Tauchgaenge zu vergleichen, aber trotzem geben sie einen Eindruck der unterbeschreiblichen Unterwasswerwelt. Durch die verangenenen Stuerme und vielen Regenfaelle war die Unterwassersicht nur maessig und die Stroemungen sehr heftig.... read more
