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 ....

Pantanal & Bonito (Brasilia)


We had three days full of green vegetation, birds, crocodiles, monkeys and piranhas...we have been to the brasilian Pantanal, a wonderful wetland which is known for the high number of bird species. We did a Jeep safari, boat trips, jungle-walks and fishing of piranhas (which taste really wonderful, although there is not a lot of meat on them ;-) ).
We spent the nights in a lodge in the middle of the wetlands and were woken up at sunrise by hundreds of birds trilling, chirping etc. ....
The warm temperature was sooo nice (T-shirt and bikini) and it was gorgeous to hang around in a landscape full of green and life instead of the freezing cold, wind and stones on the Altiplano.
We enjoyed these days very much and are hesitant about returning to La Paz (Bolivia, 3.700m!! Brrrrr..), as this means leaving Brasilia and the wonderful summer-weather again ... but the flight is already booked, so ... ;-)
As usual you we have uploaded PICTURES for you!

Greetings to all of you, Renate & Mirko
