Welcome!

Hi to all of you! Welcome to our Blog! We are looking forward to our journey and we are also looking forward to telling you all about it :-) That's maybe because we are sadistic (yes - defenitely) but it could turn out that instead, we will show you - from time to time - how nice, cosy and warm it can be at home in comparison to freezing in a tent on a mountain or getting soaked by rain while waiting for the d... bus to pick us up in the middle of nowhere... depends on the places we will stumble into, the people we will meet and the experieces which are in wait for us.... So everybody of us can be a winner at some point in time during our journey! don't miss it when it's your turn at home :-) And ... don't you forget us ! You can be sure that we will miss you all ....

Salta to Mendoza


Hallo,
in the last few days we have first travelled from Salta to San Augustin, where we vistied two National parks: NP Ischigualasti and NP Talampaya. Both of them were very impressive.
National park Ischigualasti is also called "Valle de la luna" (Tal des Mondes) and that is exactly what it looks like: like the images you have of what the moon probably looks like. Within the "Valle de la Luna" they have and are still discovering many fossils of dinosaurs.
The second park was more or less a small valley in between of two very high, nearly vertical walls of red stone on your right and left side of 100 - 140 meters! Cool!
Both national parks are "deserts" from the meteorological point of view and we can wholeheartedly agree considering the heat.

After that we continued our way to Mendoza where were are at the moment. The weather is fine, although autumn has already started, and we wander around the pedestrian zones and drink coffee in the streets thinking about our next steps.
At the moment we are a bit at a loss how to continue. At the end of april we need to be in Santiago de Chile as our flight to the Easter Islands leaves on the 1.5. So we have about 2 weeks time to spend in between ...yes, there is a lot to do... but WHICH of the possibilities shall we choose .... I know we have a hard life here with extremely hard decisions to take ... ;-)
[Only today I said to Mirko: "Hey! Today is monday and we don´t have to sit in the office ...hehe ... We know you love us nonetheless :-) ]

Thinking of all of you! De verdad!
Kisses Renate & Mirko
