10 x transport on the trip

When travelling, you often need to get around in different ways, sometimes between places and sometimes within a place. Here are some of the different modes of transport we've tried. Which one do you prefer ... or prefer not to use?

1. mop

Often easy and cheap to rent in Asia, and an easy way to get around. We have rented a moped in Vietnam, Malaysia and on Philippines. You just have to be careful in traffic!

2. flights

Of course, flying has huge advantages when travelling long distances. In the picture we are on our way to Ukrainebut of course we have also flown many other routes.

3. cycle for four

Bicycles like this were available for hire in Jesolo on the Adriatic Sea in Italy. The shopping street was so long that they were actually needed ...

4. trains

A great way to travel! It's comfortable and you often meet new people. In the picture you can see Trans-Siberian railway. We have also travelled by train in places like Ukraine and Kenya.

5. Small boats

Different types of boats are useful for travelling between islands. Here you see Philippine boats, 'bankas', which become an important means of transport in a country with 7000 islands.

6. Motorhome

The perfect means of transport! It's quick and easy to get around on the road while keeping your bedroom, kitchen and bathroom with you.

7. bicycle taxis

Different types of cycle taxis, or rikshas, are common in Asia. In the picture we are in China and will soon deal with the taxi driver who took an extra trip on his own and wants to be paid extra for it.

8. ferry

If you're travelling across larger seas or lakes, a ferry can be handy. Especially if you have your car/caravan with you. In the picture we are on our way from Skåne to Poland.

9. Horse and carriage

When you see this mode of transport, it is usually for tourist reasons. This was the case in Morocco as well, but a big advantage of the mode of transport was that you could photograph in peace!

10. Jeepney

These 'buses', often colourfully decorated, are widely used in the Philippines. The origin is an American military vehicle left behind after World War II.
