Route 13 lead our bus for hours through steep, jungly mountain ridges. From Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng were only 231km, but the continuous road serpentines took almost 8 hours to get there. Out of boredom we decided to study the guidebook . “In a February 2003 attack on Route 13, twelve people, including two … Continue reading Vang Vieng, Laos: karst mountains, caves, underground rivers and much more…
Kalimantāna, agrāk saukta par Borneo, izrādās ir otra lielākā sala pasaulē. Tā slavena ar pirmatnējiem lietus mežiem, zelta raktuvēm un Indonēzijas galvenās eksporta preces – eļļas palmu plantācijām. Salu pārsvarā apdzīvo islāma ticīgie, tādēļ nevienā no pilsētiņām, ko apmeklējam pa ceļam, nav iespējams nopirkt alu. Bet mums taču pēc pāris dienām Līgo vakars!!! … Continue reading Kalimantan rain forest and orang utans
Pēc pāris aklimatizācijas dienām Pekinā, nu bijām nonākuši Ķīnas dienvidu provincēs. Guilinā kāpām kuģī, lai turpmākos 50 km veiktu pa Lī upi. Baudījām neparasto ainavu, ko bija izveidojuši karsta procesi. Kādreiz zemes līmenis bija līdz ar šo kalnu virsotnēm, bet pamazām nenoturīgie ieži izskalojās un zemes virskārta iebruka par vairākiem simtiem metru. Apkārt … Continue reading Li river basin in China – most impressive karst caves in the World
Tartaka līmenis šogad ir neticami augsts. Apkārtējie meži ir applūduši, straumes ātrums šaurākajās vietās tāds pats kā Amatā pavasarī. Vietējie ne pa jokam nobažījušies, vai dažu ūdenskrātuvju slūžas izturēs. Tā nu mēs arī iekūlāmies šajā avantūrā, ko iesaucām par Tarrrtaku. Sākums bija labais. Latgales Jāņi Trepju mājās pie Rušona. Ar muzikantiem, ōlu un ko … Continue reading Tartaks: probably wildest river of Latvia…not always
L. Juglā ap 12. augustu, pēc pēdējo nedēļu stiprajām lietavām, tika konstatēts augstākais līmenis pēdējo 40 gadu laikā (6 metri pie Zaķiem!). Nav jau nekāds brīnums, ka nolēmām nedaudz paziņkārot, kā tas izskatās. Kā var redzēt, nebija jau nemaz tik vienkārši līdz upei nokļūt – pat lielie ceļi vietām bija pamatīgi izskaloti. Vienā no … Continue reading L. Jugla gets highest water level in history
Kur ir tā vieta, kur var izbaudīt šos brīnišķos tropiskos lietus mežus, kur mitra taka aizvijās tumšajā vīteņaugu pamežā Kur džungļi pārņēmuši nule kā atstātās muižas un agrāk dižciltīgos parkus Kur katoļu baznīcai piekrīt vislielākā teikšana Kur Velns iesēdinājis meža vidū ezeru, zaļu kā aci, ar peldošām salām kā celmiem Kur vēl aizvien nepazīst elektrību … Continue reading Elbows of Daugava
