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 ....

"Sucre" or "May Mirkos jeans rest in peace"


Hallo, we have spent the last days in Sucre which was very agreable as Sucre lies only on 2600m and the climate is warm (we didn`t need gloves at the breakfast table). We could sit in the sun with our t-shirts only and enjoy fruit juices and coffees.
The town is supposed to be the most beautiful town of Bolvivia and it really is beautiful with a lot of white colonial buildings, streets, a lot of churches and all nice and clean.
We actually didn´t do much these days but wander around town and visit some churches, museums and buildings. Mirko made me (!!) visit a place where we were supposed to see "dinosaurier tracks" in the earth...and I had to go there in a so-called "dinosaurier-truck" for tourists: a truck which is painted outside with colourfull pictures of dinosauriers (AAAAhh!!!!) .. I do not know how I deserved this...but I could not argue much as I deleted a very precious video from his camera by accident (Gulp! :-( )

As we liked the city, we chose it as a last resting place for Mirkos jeans and his rucksack, which both have been nothing more than shreds for more than a month. There was an official ceremony and everything....I nearly cried (Sniff) ;-)
Unfortunately Mirkos "I-love-it-soooo-much-don´t-make-me-give-it-away-although-it-looks-horrible"-T-shirt and his embarassing "I-have-been-through-so-much-with-this-sunhat" sunhat are still coming with us :-(

Have fun viewing the PICTURES.

Today at 17:00 we will continue our journey for a quick "hop" (1 week) to the brasilian "Pantanal" (wetlands).
See you and whish you all the best.
Renate & Mirko
