I usually go for a long holiday of four weeks during our winter time January and/or February. These 4 weeks gives me the time to get a good impression of the country and allow myself some time to chill at the beach the end of the vacation (again the beach girl in me!). I spent a lot of time for the preparations; decide on the route; how many days where; what can I do at certain places; what are the highlights; how long does it take to get from A to B; which transport and what are the best looking accommodations. I used the Lonely Planet, websites from well know travel agencies and blogs like this to prepare for this trip.

I traveled via local buses, tour operators, taxi/Uber, plane, boats, bikes, horses and of course my feet. I will describe in separate blogs each destination in detail; What you can do and see there?; How you get at each destination? And how do you get away? I write some tips and experiences on the topics as well, that could help your planning.
Of course you can adjust the route and maturity of your stay for each destination. After reading my blogs you can decide what you find interesting and adjust your journey to your needs.
