Can The Flu Bring On A Gallbladder Attack










buenos middle earth from the other!

was really just a short ride through the ruins of Peru should be deported, is wonderful weeks in second has our already existing time problem solved but not final but ...

... first from the front:

the entry was easier than I thought. after we in cali, the unofficial capital of salsa, and marked out pasto Ipiales short milestones, we drove around with the border post just to the taxi. zack we were disturbed in Ecuador and no hats. honest as we are now times and with the unsubstantiated Deten fear that we could get problems on exit, but then again we went back to the post, which we then reluctantly gave the incoming and exit stamps.

First we went to Otavalo. there every Saturday arts and crafts market is the largest in South America instead. Well we arrived on a Sunday. market there was still every day. just not that big. striking was the incredibly friendly and interested people. everyone smiled at you and greets us on our walks in the area. in our hotel, we met other travelers also great.

we stadtmuede we are, we drove around quito old town and its probably great and arrived just after baños, which translated means washroom (¿donde estan los baños?). because of the many clouds of the name is program. the location is directly at the feet of about 5000m high active volcano, which we climbed at least as high up us the breathing was noticeably heavy. at all we went there for the first time really the pump on our walks through the mountains. nibble

still something to colonial old town flair we stopped for 2 nights in Cuenca and then went to Vilcabamba, an idyllic village, which is strategically located on the way to Peru. So cheap in fact only when we peru on the ruins of Kuelap in the way is. they say the people here are incredibly old. a short "I do not think" protecting against unnecessary legends. the area is beautiful and offers some great treks.

but now the real adventure begins. initially suggested to us before the next trip to Peru on this track from, because the road is really bad, and construction sites because of the many landslides and the achievement of the trip can ever be from 6 to - you can not say exactly - extended hours. with us it took 6 hours, fortunately, only place to grenznaechstem. there were 6 full hours of agony ever-widening chasms. from there we took a short lunch break with some kind of off-road truck, which was equipped with holzbaenken, more border towards the actual. as it was pitch dark in the meantime and a limit or something like that after a few militaerposten and rain was still not in view, we were a bit queasy. we were right in the jungle and was never seen a light. now and then lashed a one twig on the face, which was excellent by the way awake. but finally we came to a village and between two pubs there was indeed a scale-LABELED immigration. the friendly border guard greeted us at the shirt, neat mustache and batallionstaetowierung. a computer, there was not and so was the audreisestempel quickly in pass. jule only had problems because they emigrate to the card and not germany alemania wrote this and he did not land. we need only look over a bridge and run the border officer. who was not there and a saucy lady, who just cleaned the office, then gave us a 90 day stamp in the pass. then another fast 2 hours in the taxi (it was filled to 7 people plus our luggage) to the next place for the night, it was long ago. I can already anticipate at this point that the way to Kuelap was no less strenuous. But that was yesterday. Today we arrived about 14 hours after a night crossings, fresh and well in trujillo tomorrow and we will look at the ruins of Chan Chan. but to Kuelap chan, chan and the rest of Peru more in my next post ...

we remain healthy, as you can marvel at jules biceps and full of enthusiasm.

All the best!
