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 ....

Salar de Uyuni


Near Uyuni there is the giant, most impressive "Salar" which we visited in the last few days. With a guide and a Jeep we drove through salt, salt and again salt..the landscape was nothing but white as far as one could see and it was incredible!
The area covers 12.000 km2 in an altitude of 3.650m !
You should view the pictures ...I think you cannot describe it with words and one cannot imagine what it looks like without pictures.... It was GREAT!

During the same excursions we also visited some lagunas and drove a lot of km through the dry landscape of the south of the bolivian Altiplano (Highland). We slept on 4.500m altitude (brrr....cold, cold, cold!!!) ) and inhaled tons of dust and sand during the ride on very, very bad roads ;-)

Whish you all the best!
Our time of travelling is running out ... so you will see us again soon! :-)
