our love, you who are like us, so those who follow this blog,
the height air does extremely well. headache in the morning light you get used to the ridges.
it happened a lot in the last time. this is not only because our profit margins have doubled cruising speed.
Kuelap has done exactly what it promised. an impressive stone walls continue up to 18m thick, built by the cloud warriors (Chachapoyas) in the northern jungle of Peru in the middle of a difficult accessible mountains. high, we have still be chauffeured. down we went, slipping more than hiking, the 10 km on foot, which by the way claimed the same time, as we would have taken the car, so about 3 hours. two nice amis accompanied us here and the next day to stone figures standing in the middle of a steep slope.
then we continued to coast at Trujillo. this old colonial town is in the middle of endless desert. the outskirts must be swept out constantly. Here we marveled at the huge size of the former chimo-Chan Chan, which was built from sand and just had the proportions of a city of millions today. after a brief stopover in Lima we went to the first class luxury liner further at the feet of Machu Picchu to Cuzco, which, however, we ignoranterweise were ignored. cuzco but in itself has been lots of Inca architecture to offer, we were in the form of infinitely many admire support. from Lima to Cuzco, it is 3660m, so altitude.
now it went up to about 4000m. to stop in Puno we steamed by boat on the sun island in Lake Titicaca. This blue and the views of the snow-capped summit of Bolivia led Jules, our burn off within days kamerabaterie of 2. the walks were just picturesque and lung-rending.
la paz We were not quite as fond of headache, prepared earlier and now on a limited sicherheitsgefuehl 4200m.
but then it was time. we went to a dream of our goals this travel, the salar de Uyuni. 3-day jeep tour of salt with overnight stays in hotels. the madness at -12 degrees and a feeling of out of space. Our tour group was the delicacies, consisting of two well-equipped Finns and a German-French duet, and countless bottles of rum. the nightly jogging test for warm feet ended lung failure at over 4200m with ...
the bath in hot springs the next morning at about 5000m, but compensates for some. the landscape can not say much, just an open mouth, and fin engelschoere now and then a drunk in the picture.
back in Uyuni, we had train tickets for tonight at 2:20 clock. So alarm clock found in bed curled up and looking photos ...
... Do not think any off photos on the sd card ... down to the internet cafe ... virus ... everything ...
Luckily we had secured in la paz and photos from the desert had Teemu, one fin secured. Teemu same written response that he does not delete the photos please send us the same and from Finland to home ... promte: no problem ... bismarck puhh ... so back to bed ... 1 clock, the alarm clock rings. .. finding that our bag is not all as souvenirs ... the water left standing in the purchase and download to ... load ... of course be canceled train ticket, bus ticket purchased for the next night ... wait until the afternoon by 4 to clock The store opens his bag ... still there ... well that ends well! moral of the story: happened ...
off we went cheerfully to Argentina to Salta. here were the people already so friendly that we can handle it difficult German. great hostel. in search of a computer store, which deletes the virus, I met a nice man who spoke excellent English and told me also that he someday would like to berlin. He could not help me in employments, but invited me for a coffee. when I went to download jules sought again for he was at home already. But I was put through by phone and I offered to deposit our address if it is then time to berlin and a free stay needs. the address should I give him at home and then bring my wife. we were princely received. of good whiskey was opened, there were sandwiches and pastries. We chatted the whole evening. Incidentally, he deletes the virus and placed the deleted pictures again, and then he had at home the latest programs. later still came the daughter over with the kids. grossrartiger one night! morning we met for breakfast yet. Then he drove us through his salta and placed us on jules growling stomach down at his favorite steak restaurant from where we enjoyed a steak 700g, which melted away like ice on the tongue. Finally, we have not yet adopted a warm, down to the bus terminal, where we competed our next luxury liner, 24-hour trip to Iguazu, where we arrived this afternoon. tomorrow it goes to the waterfalls. we have read that this just make happy. actually we need them, but we give the spectacle still a chance ...

All the best!
