neues Projekt und temporäre Verabschiedung meinerseits

    Hola Amigo Heizo

    na da habt Ihr aber ein paar geile Geraete im Bild festgehalten :D

    I hope you had the chance for a closer look ;)

    What about the swiss girl? :D

    Sorry I couldnt come to Santiago, I am too busy with the interior of my house.
    Thanks for teh great pictures of the Lagos around Bariloche.

    Reminds me of my 5 hours fisih trip on one of those lakes :D

    At the end we got a big one and griled it the day after.

    Too bad also that La Taberna was closed...we had so much fun there back in January 2002.

    Hope I can join you for a short leg somewhat more north.

    Let me know your approximate schedule.

    btw...why is Chile so expensive?!

    Hola amigos des vehiculos sportivo :)


    Well in the end Chile wasn't much more expensive than Argentina.
    However Gas is a fortune there: almost as expensive as in Germany :( (apr. 1,- eur per liter 93 octan)

    Anyhow Chile was very interessting!! - a lot to drive though
    From San Pedro de Atacama we drove up to Iquique. (there is a grand Tax-free shopping mall ;))
    And the next day further up to Arica. (the northern-most city in Chile)

    We (our great Transit Nugget :D) climbed the Andes from Arica to Putre with no murring at all :nod:
    That was an incredible steep incline:
    from Sea-level up to 3700m on a distance of 150km 8o

    Yesterday we drove into Bolivia up another pass (4600m) and arrived in La Paz 8)

    Wow what a trip so far:
    - 27 days (since we got the car)
    - 12.000 km
    - 36 degrees of latitude (54 at Ushuaia to 18 at La Paz)

    ...to be continued

    @ stocky:
    no probs!
    yeah would be cool if we could work sth out. :nod:

    We will reach Panama on 21.May by ferry and from there we will see...
    roughly 10-14 days later we will hit Mexico.
    Will keep you posted.

    Where do you take the ferry ?!

    I might be able to join you already in Panama but only on the 22th if my schedule alows it.

    From Panama to Mexico border its only 2000km...why need 10 to 14 days?!



    quasi alle S2000 Ersatzteile auf Lager (gebraucht mit wenig km)

    The ferry leaves Manta in Ecuador on the 18th and arrives latest 21st in Panama.
    So should match your schedule... :)

    Yeah ok, we might not need 14 days. :roll:
    Currently I'm not fully aware what there is to see, the exact route, etc.
    Plus we are rushing pretty much right now so we might take it just a little easier in Middle America - let's see.

    Sorry folks - still no pics at this point. :blush:

    However we moved on...
    - La Paz was a real experience: simply more packed and more streetlife than Santiago or Buenos Aires. Also the highest (3500m) "capital"-city in the world wih some extreme steep inclines!

    - We explored the Southern end of the Lago Titicaca at the little town of Copacobana. Amazing views there!

    - Further on along the southern coast of the lake to eventually hit Cuzco in Peru today.

    @Eric: have fun. Cusco and Machu Picchu are amazing places. I did the Inca Trail there 2 years ago. One of the highlights of my travels anywhere.

    finally some pics to catch up with the stories...

    - totally desert!
    - some Inca carvings
    - our campsite in Putre at 3700m
    - Vicunas (typical animals for northern Argentina Andes)
    - snow covered volcano with volcano lake

    various impressions:

    - high altitude gives your brain less oxygrn :o
    - Flamingos in alpine lakes at 4600m 8o
    - condoms for gas-pumps :roll:
    - "I want to be your pet!" :lol:
    - "Hey Muchacho your are not supposed to park here!" :P

    Images from La Paz (3500m)

    - ...
    - ...
    - does anyone know this guy?
    - some really steep inclines
    - ...

    Da muss ich den Stefan vom Beifahrersitz kicken :?

    "Racing, competing, is in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life. I've been doing it all my life. And it stands up before anything else.

    - our car on an old wodden ferry-boat :o
    - Lago Titicaca (with Copacobana)
    - Cuzco!
    Cuzco is really pretty and nicely refurbished and everything - but a little too touristic for my taste

    the famous Machu Picchu:
    was really amazing and fascinating!!!

    We travelled there by train from Cuzco and back (appr 4h each way)
    They charge the tourists badly for that.
    But we meet a lot of nice and interesting people!

    nice pictures Eric! Looks like you had Machu Picchu to yourself.

    Yeah there was really not that much going on, considering the amount of buses hauling the people up the hill.

    We are really enjoying ourselves! 8)
